ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement (or portion of the requirement to be sole-sourced) is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

A. ___ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE:

1. ___ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. ___ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

3. _X_ OTHER REASONS.

In accordance with FAR 19.1406(a), this will be awarded as a sole-source to

Crisis Response CO LLC. Crisis Resonse CO LLC is a Service-Disabled

Veteran-Owned Small Business, verified by the Veteran Small Business

Certification (sba.gov) website. There is no reasonable expectation that offers would be received from 2 or more Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small

Business concerns. Prior contracts M0068122P0032 and M0068123P0046 were both solicited as small business set-aside’s and both only received one quotation from Crisis Response CO LLC. A Request for Information (RFI) was posted on sam.gov from 7 Feb 2024 through 17 Feb 2024, along with an email sent to 2 entities anticipated who may be capable of performing the services requested to determine if a small business would be able to satisfy this requirement.

Additionally, for fiscal years (FY) 22 and 23, RFI’s were also submitted. The results reflected across all three RFI’s that Crisis Response CO LLC was the only company interested in fulfilling the requirement. Crisis Response CO LLC was the only company to quote on the previous solicitations. The RFI was restricted to the small business community. Industry was asked to provide capability packages in response to the RFI.
