15. JUSTIFICATION (ADD PAGES IF NEEDED)

A. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR THE NATURE OF

THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED.

CyberData-IDL currently supports this requirement that was issued via a competitive task order last fiscal year. As a result, this is a continuation (e.g. next phase) and providing continued support and development services to the MatLab project. Competing this follow-on requirement would not be beneficial to the Government as this is a complex project and the risks of delays would be unacceptable.

B. DESCRIBE THE EFFORTS TAKEN TO ENSURE OFFERS WERE SOLICITED FROM ALL MULTIPLE-AWARD CONTRACTORS, INCLUDING WHETHER A FAIR NOTICE OF INTENT TO MAKE A PURCHASE (WITH CLEAR DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES AND THE BASIS UPON WHICH THE SELECTION WILL BE MADE) WAS/WILL BE PUBLISHED ON THE AGENCY’S WEB PAGE FOR ALL AWARDEES TO SEE AS REQUIRED BY FAR 16.505(b)(1)(iii)(B)(1). STATE “ALL CONTRACTORS RESPONDING TO THE NOTICE OF FAIR

OPPORTUNITY CAN SUBMIT AN OFFER AND HAVE THAT OFFER FAIRLY CONSIDERED.”

This requirement was competed in fiscal year 2013 and only Cyberdata-IDL was able to secure the expertise required to fulfill this requirement. An announcement will be posted on FBO as all ID/IQ holders on the Application Support Contract were provided a fair opportunity for the initial requirement.

C. DETERMINATION THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE.

The Contracting Officer will determine the prices to be fair and reasonable based on applicable cost/price analysis techniques.

D. DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG ALL AWARDEES AND THE RESULTS OF THE

RESEARCH (E.G., HISTORICAL ORDERING INFORMATION, LIST AWARDEES THAT EXPRESSED AN

INTEREST IN WRITING IN THE ORDER AND THE RESULTS OF THAT INTEREST).

This requirement was competed in fiscal year 2013 and only Cyberdata-IDL was able to secure the expertise required to fulfill this requirement. In addition, in fiscal year 2014 the follow-on phase was posted on FBO and only the incumbent could perform that phase and only the incumbent will be able to perform the 3 phase of this project as they are all integrally related.

E. DESCRIBE ANY OTHER FACTS TO SUPPORT THE JUSTIFICATION.

Statement of Objectives (SOO) and Independent Government Cost Estimate IGCE).

F. LIST THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THAT THE BUREAU WILL TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE EXCEPTION TO FAIR OPPORTUNITY BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITIONS FOR

SIMILAR SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

The Government will compete all other task orders that are not integrally related to current order or when a valid exception applies.

G. STATEMENT THAT REQUIREMENT DOES NOT RESULT FROM A LACK OF PLANNING OR THE EXPIRATION

OF FUNDS.

This requirement does not result from a lack of planning or the expiration of funds. This is based on the fact that this is the third phase of an on-going project that was initially competed in fiscal year 2013.
