The particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements. Market research indicates other companies' similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency's needs. Competition is not required per 41 U.S.C.

3304(a)(l).

X There is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement.

Competition is not required per 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(I).

The need for the supplies or services is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Federal Government would be seriously injured unless the number of sources solicited is limited. The contract period will not exceed the time necessary to meet the unusual and compelling requirements of the work to be performed under the contract. The contract period will not exceed the time necessary to enter into another contract for the required goods or services through the use of competitive procedures. The contract period will not exceed one year. Competition is not required per 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2).

The procurement will be made through another executive agency or from a specified source that is expressly authorized by statute. Competition is not required per 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5), and:

18 U.S.C. 4124. Award will be made to Federal Prison Industries (UNTCOR).

44 U.S.C. 501-504, 1121. Award will be made for Government Printing and Binding.

15 U.S.C. 657f. Award will be made under the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003.
