JUSTIFICATION FOR URGENT ACQUISITION

Ref: (a) Procurement Request No: DUMMYPR26FACET

(b) Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.102(a)

1. URGENCY: This justification is provided to support the processing of reference (a) on an urgent basis (i.e., more quickly than the routine cycle timeframes of 20 days for requirements less than $25,000 and 30 days for requirements greater than $25,000 but less than $350,000. Processing of a requirement on an urgent basis may allow the soliciting from a single source if Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances deem only one source reasonably available. This justification is based on the following facts:

29DEC25, date on which the requirement was first identified.

26FEB26, is the date on which the requirement was submitted to the contracting department.

20MAR26, is the required delivery date as indicated on the requisition.

A. Explanation of the special circumstances and conditions that exist validating the requirement as "urgent".

The installed FACET hardware is critically outdated and cannot support our mission requirements. The system is unreliable, and with no viable logistics support for repairs, it presents a single point of failure. For our upcoming deployment, functional FACET computers and scanners are not just an upgrade—they are a necessity for daily archiving and data retrieval tasks essential to both CVN and external partners.

B. How this requirement will impact your mission (i.e., the specific harm that would result) if you do not receive the material or service by the required delivery date. (Note: Delays in production schedules alone or failure to expend monies are not acceptable reasons for justifying urgency.)

Deployment without this equipment will immediately stop all Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness program activities, placing the command in a non-compliant status. The inability to perform central archiving and historical searches will create significant operational inefficiencies and delays.

C. Estimated production lead time for the item (how long will it take the contractor to produce the item or complete the service once the contract is awarded)

The required material is readily available from the contractor and can be delivered within one month of the contract award, aligning with our urgent deadline if this request is processed immediately.

The following firms were contacted and have indicated that they cannot provide an item that will meet the needs of the Government.

1. _N/A N/A N/A (Company Name & Phone number) (Person Contacted) (Date of call)

*Possible reasons that a firm could not provide a supply or service include it is something the company does not manufacture, their product line does not meet the minimum performance requirements of the Government, they could not meet the Governments delivery requirement and/or other similar reasons.

2. I hereby certify that the above information is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
