In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: When the rescue radios were upgraded to the CSEL, all AWACS aircraft lost the ability to communicate to the downed personnel, which is vital to the rescue process. Boeing developed a device that is portable, can be carried onto the aircraft, and will allow fulfillment of the mission. Boeing is the only company that makes this device worldwide; therefore, is the only purchasing option. Contractors must be registered in System for Award (SAM) at www.sam.gov.
