D. Justification:

1. The justification for this non-competitive action is: (NOTE: Must select only ONE of the listed justifications for other than full and open competition and fully support the justification in the following paragraphs. Please delete this note prior to submitting the justification.)

In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), “only one source [is] reasonably available” which states that, “For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. (i) 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). (ii) Where a single source is identified to provide a portion of a purchase because that portion of the purchase specifies a particular brand-name item, the documentation in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section only applies to the portion of the purchase requiring brand-name item. The documentation should state it is covering only the portion of the acquisition which is brand- name.”

Urgency

Exclusive licensing agreements/Proprietary data

Brand name required

Industrial mobilization

Other (e.g., compatibility, space issues, continuity, compatibility, etc.)

In accordance with FAR 8.405-6 “Limiting Sources” which states that, “the only circumstances that may justify the action are – (A) An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays; (B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; or (C) In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-up to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original BPA must not have been previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.”

Urgency

Only One Source

Logical Follow Up

Brand name required

2. Other facts supporting sole source procurement:

a. What can this product/service do that other products/services cannot do?

The supplies/reagents through this acquisition are required to continue work on specific study protocol. If supplies/reagents were not from this supplier, personnel would have to re-validate the procedures which would cost the government time, and money.

b. What other products/services were considered and why did they not meet the need?

No other products/services were considered because the ongoing study requires these exact reagents for results to be comparative.

Rev. 5/15/17

3. Program Office efforts to seek potential offerors:

Program did not seek other potential offerors because ongoing studies require these exact reagents for results to be comparative.

E. Program Office Certification:

I have reviewed this sole source justification and certify the justification is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and adequate to support other than full and open competition.
