I further certify this request is not the result of a desire to expend funds while those funds are still available. I. IDENTIFICATION OF THE AGENCY AND THE CONTRACTING ACTIVITY, AND SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENT AS A "JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION"See Page 1II. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION BEING APPROVEDThis procurement action is for an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for the Showa brand of biodegradable nitrile gloves. Showa is the only manufacturer of biodegradable nitrile gloves. III. A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY'S NEEDS (INCLUDING THE ESTIMATED VALUE)NARA needs to provide biodegradable nitrile gloves for the researchers and staff to safely handle certain records. The IDIQ contract will be for biodegradable nitrile gloves in 5 sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL). The contract will be for a base year plus four option years.The estimated value for the life of the contract is $ .IV. AN IDENTIFICATION OF THE STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) -"Only One Responsible Source" as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(c).V. A DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR THE NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITEDShowa is the only manufacturer of biodegradable nitrile gloves. Biodegradable gloves reduce the environmental impact compared to regular nitrile glove use. Biodegradable gloves break down and decompose within 1-5 years (as opposed to 100 years for regular nitrile gloves). NARA estimates up to 150,000 gloves per year will be used at Archives I and Archives II between staff and researcher use. This is a significant number of gloves that will end up in landfills over time.This acquisition meets the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (c) which states that this authority may be used when "the use of such descriptions in the acquisition is essential to the Government's requirements, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company." See above II. VI. A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE, INCLUDING WHETHER A NOTICE WAS OR WILL BE PUBLICIZED AS REQUIRED BY SUBPART 5.2 AND, IF NOT, WHICH EXCEPTION UNDER 5.202 APPLIES.A combined synopsis solicitation will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities.

A DETERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLEA solicitation will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities. As tee or more vendors are likely to submit quotations; adequate competition will render the resultant award price fair and reasonable.VIII. A DESCRIPTION OF THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED (SEE PART 10) AND THE RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTEDMarket research shows that a number of vendors sell the Showa brand of biodegradable nitrile gloves.IX.
