JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR

ACQUISITIONS UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1), I hereby determine that the internet platform system listed on DJF-19-3410-PR-0008052 is available from only one source, and competition is precluded as there are no substitutes available.

1. This acquisition is restricted to the following sole source:

Company: IP Access International Company Address: 31831 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, CA Company Point of Contact and Phone Number: (949) 655-1028

2. The internet platform system is estimated to cost $94279.00, and is required to be delivered by 9/30/2019.

The internet platform system is a system which allows internet and phone access globally.

3. The specific characteristics of the internet platform that limit the availability to a sole source are the system allows for internet and phone access globally. The overall system will need to be attached to the mobile command center vehicle trailer. The IP Access’ system will allow it to fit within the trailer space requirements without being too tall or too heavy. IP Access is also the only provider that can reach globally. LAFO may need to respond to emergencies throughout California, the western region of the United States or into the western pacific region. To maintain ease of service and use of equipment, it is recommended to use IP Access. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because the equipment meets space and weight requirements within the command response trailer, allows for global connectivity of existing equipment and offers an easy to use platform that interfaces properly with existing equipment.
