JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE ACQUISITION
This document is a Justification for Sole Source (Simplified Acquisitions – MPT to SAT) for the United States Naval Academy (USNA). The requirement is for Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) support services from Magellan Federal, Inc., located at 2800 S Shirlington Road STE 350, with point of contact Tom Sanders (321-525-0250, sanderst@MagellanFederal.com). The services include providing HRPP-knowledgeable contractors to support and advise USNA staff on human subject research activities, including support guidance, monitoring HRPP updates and changes, and associated administrative support services. The current task order (N0018921F3007) expires on January 31, 2026, and USNA requires an additional six-month extension of performance from February 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026 due to unforeseen delays caused by the 2025 Government Shutdown.
The justification establishes that Magellan Federal, Inc. is the sole source capable of furnishing these requirements because the contractor has provided continuous support for ten years as the incumbent and is tightly intertwined with the USNA HRPP project. When the Navy issued Solicitation N0018921R3008 on December 18, 2020, Magellan Federal, Inc. was the only capable vendor to submit a quote. The document emphasizes that switching vendors would result in unnecessary government costs, scheduling delays, and service lapses, and that federal regulations (32 CFR 219 and DoDI 3216.02) require continuation of institutional HRPP services. The total estimated price for the extension period is redacted in the document.

Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104
Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. (what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?)
The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.
This requirement includes providing HRPP-knowledgeable Contractors who can support and provide HRPP subject matter advice for necessary USNA staff. The services rendered include support guidance, monitoring HRPP updates and changes, advising USNA of those changes and how they impact the USNA HRPP, and associated admin support services in accordance with the PWS for the past five years. Solicitation N0018921R3008 was issued to SeaPort NxG on 18-Dec-2020 and closed on 4-Jan-2021. Magellan Federal, Inc. was the only capable vendor to submit a quote. Additionally, Magellan Federal, Inc. has supported this requirement for the last ten (10) years as they were the incumbent under N0018916PZ386. Due to the fact that Magellan Federal, Inc. is tightly intertwined with the USNA HRPP project, attempting to switch vendors would cost the Government additional unnecessary funding and time causing USNA to experience a lapse in HRPP service.
Other information to support a sole source action:
Federal regulations (32 CFR 219 and DoDI 3216.02) require each institution that conducts or supports research involving human subjects must have a HRPP. Therefore, a continuation of service is required and given the delays caused by the 2025 Government Shutdown, Magellan Federal, Inc. is the only vendor capable of supplying HRPP support by the required deadline of 01 February 2026.
