SINGLE SOURCE/BRAND NAME DETERMINATION USING

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1))

(NCNP0000-19-01104)

1. Agency and contracting activity. National Ocean Service (NOS), Office for Coastal Management (OCM).

2. Description of action being approved. OCM has a requirement for obtaining three Trimble R8 Real-time Kinematic (RTK) system (base and rover) with integrated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Model 60 to support our integrated surveying efforts. These systems must be configurable to two different levels (base and rover mode and rover/network rover mode). This is a very flexible, scalable system that integrates efficiently (training/operation) with our other Trimble R8 systems. OCM has additional requirements for radio equipment and training as identified in the table.

Products must be new and substitutions are not acceptable. Maintenance and support are essential for the successful execution of this contract with equipment warrantied for 12 months after acquisition. Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE):

3. Description of Product, Supplies or Services required to meet Agency’s needs: the Trimble systems identified in the matrix must be new with no substitutions.

4. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited. Trimble, Inc.

5. Supporting rationale. Only one brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

a) OCM has already invested in Trimble GPS products (three) and our workflow is set-up to use the Trimble tool chain. Having multiple tool chains to learn and track would add extra labor and increase the likelihood of costly errors. Many of the partners we collaborate closely with also use Trimble systems and continue with Trimble will enable interoperability for post-processing and in-field network compatibility.

b) Compatibility with other Trimble equipment is essential for maintenance, parts supply, data collection, processing and interpretation.

c) Compatibility with our current Trimble equipment lowers cost and training requirements while vastly improving productivity.

d) Similar market RTK products will have different equipment, maintenance and training requirements. These requirements will increase the cost and lower productivity for data collection, processing and interpretation.

6. Market Research.

OCM staff performed technical evaluations of several competing products against government requirements. The results of the evaluation ended with Trimble providing the best value to the government. Trimble provides a rugged solution for demanding fieldwork and user-friendly data collection software. This combination is important to reduce rework and expensive time in the field. NGS staff have reprocessed in Trimble Business Center and the solutions were perfect.

7. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification

I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government’s minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Date 6/25/2019

8. Determination

I hereby determine that the circumstances of this action deem only one source is reasonably available. This determination is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
