S INGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION FOR PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION 1. Title of Procurement Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations (AMO) procurement of Troll branded equipment in Support of the Aircraft Video Downlink (AVDL) system. Purchase request number AC-26-03727 2. Nature of Procurement Action The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes the acquisition of Troll Systems equipment through Single Source procedures. The proposed vendor is Troll Systems, 24950 Anza Drive, Valencia, CA 91355 (SAM UEID NKHRJR5PMKL3). Troll Systems is the only known source that can provide the equipment necessary for the AMO AVDL system that can satisfy this requirement. 3. Description of Supplies/Services Under an inter-agency agreement with DHS, the FAA is responsible for lifecycle support of Air and Marine Operations (AMO) Aircraft Video Downlink (AVDL) ground receive stations. The aircraft transmitting video to these stations has undergone a technical refresh and now are being delivered with Troll Systems video equipment. The existing terrestrial site receiving equipment is required to maintain serviceability. For this effort, the FAA is looking to process an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) type contract to support the required system upgrade. As the AVDL program is expected to utilize the Troll Systems equipment into the foreseeable future, it would be most effective to put the ID/IQ contract in place to provide more efficiency for future efforts, including the procurement of spares and repairs. 4. Authority Authority for single source procurement is provided by AMS policy section 3.2.2.4. 5. Market Analysis A formal public announcement was posted to the System for Award Management website (SAM.gov) on March 30, 2026, with a response due date of April 6, 2026. Troll Systems (the OEM) was the only vendor that responded to the Market Survey. No other entity responded to the posting. The Notice ID for the posting is 6973GH26CBPTROLLRADIOEQUIPMENT. Additional Market research was performed using the Internet, which helped determine the estimated amounts required for this effort. Based upon Troll Systems being the OEM of the system and provided the only response to the formal Market Survey along with additional market research, Troll Systems is the only source that can provide the required equipment and services to meet the need for this effort. 6. Rationale Supporting Use of a Single Source Troll Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the Troll X750 Remote Site Controllers. Troll Systems does not have any resellers or distributors for their equipment. For the AMO Terrestrial Sites to serve their intended purpose, the configuration must be the same across the ground stations in the field. As the aircraft are now equipped with the Troll Linkbox, the optimal receive site configuration (antenna controllers and receivers) must be Troll. There is not another government contract that can satisfy this requ…
