SOLE SOURCE (INCLUDING BRAND NAME) JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR ACQUISITIONS UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES

This document sets forth the justification and approval as required by 13.106 1(b)(1) &(2).

1. Contracting agency and activity.

The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Division of Support Services (NV950), Nevada State Office, 1340 Financial Blvd., Reno, Nevada 89502, requests the Division of Support Services, Office of Budget and Financial Services (NV955), Nevada State Office, 1340 Financial Blvd., Reno, Nevada 89502, to contract on a sole source (including brand name) basis.

2. Nature and/or description of action being approved.

The selected vendor shall supply all labor and supplies necessary to complete the NVR installation and configuration.

Estimated dollar value.

3. Statutory authority.

_X_41 U.S.C. 1901 – Simplified acquisition procedures (use when the simplified procedures for purchases of property and services for amounts (1) not greater than the simplified acquisition threshold

____41 U.S.C 1903 – Special emergency procurement authority (applies when in support of a contingency operation as defined in section 101(a) of title 10 or to facilitate the defense against or recovery from nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack against the United States).

4. Rationale supporting use of the authority stated in paragraph 5.

The requirement of the brand name specification is for interoperability with the Avigilon environment, it’s hardware and software, as well as technical support. Ensuring all equipment is compliant with the Avigilon environment secures our capability of using the state office to centrally control all CCTV operations from the Nevada State Office. Avigilon CCTV products and associated Avigilon hardware / software is the statewide standard and has already been installed in 12 offices throughout Nevada.

5. Other information.

By going with a different CCTV hardware / software provider, portions or all the system components could experience incompatibility events that would impact site security and situational awareness as well as the ability to obtain break / fix / troubleshoot support.

6. The efforts to identify additional sources including the market research conducted.

This brand name justification does not seek to limit competition and market research has revealed that a large majority of CCTV vendors supply and support the Avigilon product line.

7. Future plans to permit competition.

Due to the number of vendors capable of accomplishing this work, competition is still expected.

While this brand name specification does limit some products, they are still commercially available and therefore endorses as much competition as practicable.
