Proposed Award of Contract under Sole Source Procurement

The protester objected to the proposed award of a contract on a sole-source basis. Justification for sole-source procurement premised on the lack of data adequate for competitive procurement was not clearly shown to lack a reasonable basis. Justification for the proposed sole-source award for the total quantity of the modified radar requirements was of doubtful propriety. The Air Force should reconsider the practicality of severing the current and urgent requirements from the total requirements, and of limiting the scope of the sole source award to the current and urgent requirements and the purchase of reprocurement data.
