Re-dacted Limited Sources Justification and Approval (J&A)

This contract addresses the procurement of additional Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) Hand Held Radios (HHRs) to meet the Air Force's operational requirements. Due to the specialized nature of the CSEL system and its components, only one source—the Boeing Company, Inc.—is qualified to fulfill this need. The CSEL system, which includes the AN/PRQ-7A HHR, consists of Over the Horizon, Ground, and User segments, and was developed under a previous contract awarded to Boeing. They remain the prime contractor responsible for the development, production, and sustainment of the entire system. The award was originally made on February 25, 2013, under Contract FA8730-13-F-8005. This justification confirms that Boeing is the sole capable source to provide the additional radios due to their proprietary knowledge and ongoing responsibilities. The performance location for this contract is in Lanham, Maryland, and contact points for the contract include Godfrey Newton as the Contract Specialist and Allison DeSimone as the Contracting Officer, both affiliated with the Air Force and reachable through designated channels.
