Justification and Approval (J&A) under SAT

Procurement Request/Solicitation: 1301023171/ N6883622Q0387

Background: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

A. ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE

1. Restrictive Rights The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

The Emergency Nurses Association in partnership with Elsevier is the only certifying body who has created and distributes the Emergency Nursing Orientation course. This program would allow for all Navy ER/Trauma nurses to access and complete the courses online, ensuring the same level of training and understanding of didactic material throughout the Emergency

Departments (ED) at all Navy Military Treatment Facilities. This understanding of basic ED knowledge would enhance and maintain the highest level of care provided to our patients regardless of the different patient populations all ER/Trauma nurses experience on a day to day basis. With its unlimited enterprise access, all ED nurses would have the ability to complete the modules which would also allow to obtain continuing education credits.

Elsevier Clinical Solutions, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is the sole provider of their training. All equipment and materials are patented/copyrighted and are only distributed by

Elsevier Clinical Solutions. Elsevier Clinical Solutions is the only entity that can execute this work as a number of key proprietary elements, the specific content and strategies, are not available from other sources. Elsevier Clinical Solutions is the training designer and, as such, has full proprietary rights and they are not releasing it to any vendor.

An award to any other source would jeopardize compatibility with existing training and/or would result in substantial duplication of cost or additional cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, in addition to unacceptable delays in meeting the

Government requirements. Similar products lack features that are necessary to meet the

Government's minimum needs or other contractors are not qualified to perform necessary services.
