(GRSi) under the Battlespace Awareness (BA) Pillar Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) multiple award contract.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF EXCEPTION TO FAIR OPPORTUNITY.

D (a) The agency's need for supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays.

[ZJ (b) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.

D (c) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency, because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.

D {d) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

JUSTIFICATION:

GRSi is the contractor that has been supporting the implementation and installation of the Ship's Signals Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Family of Systems and Cryptologic Cany-On Program (CCOP) for the past ten years. The se1vices provided by GRSi includes configuration management, logistics engineering) program management, casualty response (CASREP), ILS certification, Configuration Data Managers Database-Open Architecture (CDMD-OA), Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), information assurance) and training administrative support. Currently, the SSEE Increment (INC) E system has an Ao (operational availability) of and the threshold requirement is . The SSEE INC-F has an Ao of and a threshold of . The SSEE program has systems deployed on approximately 120 ships and is going through a major system upgrade. GRSi currently provides the SSEE program with a highly knowledgeable integrated Logistics and CM team capable of adapting rapidly to the SSEE program's speeialized requirements. In order to meet accelerated Ship Main Process installations ILS requirements and avoid any unacceptable degradation in Fleet Support, the ASE-IPT must maintain the current uniquely qualified ILS I CM team of experienced SSEE program Acquisition Life Cycle subject matter experts.

GRSi is the only sow·cc capable of providing the services at the level of quality required without a break in service. The proposed extension will ensure the current team can provide sustained seamless ILS, CM, and PM support. Award to any other contractor would result in at least a one-year slip in schedule due to the time it will take to ramp up a ne\v team on the baseline and obtain the required Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances required to v;ork on the SSEE and CCOP programs. Any intetTuption in support to the SSEE and CCOP programs would have a significant impact on completing ongoing system ILS, CM, CASREPs, information assurance, and training support. Further, the ability to rapidly respond to and resolve critical fleet systems fielding and sustainment issues would be negatively impacted and the Fleet's overall Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JSR) and Information Operations (IO) readiness would degrade significantly making it extremely difficult for Fleet personnel to operate and maintain the systems. This would result in significantly reduced Indications and Warnings (I& W) capability of our deployed ships, making them more susceptible to attack by our adversaries. The potential for installation/training delays and

increased CASREPs would also result; directly impacting fleet operational readiness.
