ADDENDUM

Pursuant to FAR 5.201, the proposed contract action was synopsized and placed on FedBizOpps on 01/25/2018 and expired on 01/30/2018. Consideration was requested for the Marvin Test Solutions GX7100 Series PXI Chassis and connectors; however, the product was found to be unacceptable based on the following:

This Procurement is for the Pickering Interfaces brand name only, High Density Precision Resistor module, 40-297-030; PCIe to PXI Remote Control Kit; Cable Assembly 37 way, 40-970-37-2m-MF, and 14 Slot 3U 350W PXI Chassis, 40-914-001 in support of the avionics system testing and development within the Integrated Avionics Test Facilities (IATF) labs which include the Systems Integration Labs (SIL), the Software Development Facilities (SDF), and the Systems Integrated Test Facilities (SITF). These labs perform the integration and testing of the avionics systems and flight software for the new launch vehicles. The Pickering Interface products are being used with real-time equipment at the present time. Due to extensive testing and certifications already performed on the Pickering brand items, no other brands are deemed acceptable for these items.

Therefore, this Procurement shall remain a Sole Source to Pickering Interface Inc. I hereby accept the above stated recommendation and determine that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.
