FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

JUSTIFICATION FOR LIMITED COMPETITION/SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION

JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR

ACQUISITIONS UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1), I hereby determine that the Full Spectrum Imaging System (FSIS) Color Lab listed on DJF-21-0700-PR-0000343 is available from only one source, and competition is precluded as there are no substitutes available.

1. This acquisition is restricted to the following sole source:

Company: Arrowhead Scientific Company Address: 11006 Strang Line Road, Lenexa, KS 66215 Company Point of Contact and Phone Number: Brad Brown, 913-894-8388

2. The FSIS Color Lab is estimated to cost $182,218.80 and is required to be delivered by 5/28/2021.

The FSIS Color Lab is a forensic image capturing system featuring a patented 16MP digital camera that can capture an image in full color.

3. Specific characteristics of the FSIS Color Lab that limit the availability to a sole source are that the FBI Quantico Laboratory currently utilizes this equipment and the Huntsville Laboratory must be able to use the same technology. It is imperative that both Laboratories use the same equipment to ensure latent print personnel in both locations can be called upon to perform work on same equipment at either location at any time. They must be able to produce, analyze and share data using the same equipment so all evaluations are equal. In addition, the FSIS systems are the only camera systems in the world with custom software enabling the examiner to view and capture 3D, textured, and round surfaces with their “integration” feature. This software is unique and does not require “stitching” of several images together. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because this is a proprietary device and software manufactured and sold only by Arrowhead Scientific.

4. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

|_|The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is <insert description of current equipment>, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by <insert description of how the new item/service must coordinate or interface>.
|_|A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition. The proprietary data are described as follows:

<Insert description> |_| These are "direct replacement" parts/components for existing equipment.

|_| Other information to support a Choose an item. buy:

<Insert any additional information that supports this sole-source/brand name acquisition>
