3. Is the requirement on GSA Schedule? Yes No

If yes, provide schedule number

D. Justification:

1. The justification for this non-competitive action is (choose only one):

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 (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

2. Other facts supporting sole source procurement:

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

EATON is being solicited as the sole source provider for the MV circuit breakers. MV circuit breakers are critical to Roybal Campus Generator Plant. Building 10 MV switchgear is designed for EATON MV circuit breakers only. In addition, competition amongst resellers of Eaton is not practicable because of unique circumstances involved with the required MV circuit breakers. During recent efforts for Eaton Electrical Engineering Services to bench test CDC’s MV circuit breakers, the MV circuit breakers were damaged while being transported. Therefore Eaton Electrical Engineering Services will provide new MV circuit breakers to replace the damaged equipment at an “in-house price” which is drastically lower than normal commercial pricing. Soliciting competition under such circumstances is not practicable and Eaton Electrical Services is the only contractor reasonably available.

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

No other products and services was considered due to background information as described above.

3. Program Office efforts to seek potential offerors:

No potential offerors sought as background clearly indicates the Government will accept new MV circuit breakers at EATON in-house price.

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.
