JUSTIFICATION & APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
for SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS OVER $3,500 ($2,000/$2500 for Construction/Services) AND UP TO $150,000 (See FAR 13.106-1)
| Date: | 04/13/2022 |
| PR Number: | 40571855 |
1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):
2Pint Stiffler Advance 24,000 licenses, 1 year. 2Pint Stiffler Advanced is used in the Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) content distribution. Combination of Stifler server and Stiffler Client can efficiently utilize available bandwidth at slow link sites in National Park Service. The software will enable better software content distribution to all Wide Area Network (WAN) sites in NPS, especially sites where network connectivity is limited. Usage of this software will ensure NPS can meet its security goal of staying up to date with software distributions while addressing shortcomings of greatly distributed WAN in use by National Park Service. [Redacted]
2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):
| X | Only one responsible source. 13.106-1(b) Soliciting from a single source. (1) 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). |
| Urgent and compelling circumstances exist. Include critical delivery or performance dates, and when you became aware of the requirement. Provide a specific statement of the impact on Government operations, financial or otherwise, if the required delivery or performance dates are not met. | |
| Other |
Explain:
Only one source can provide the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.
This license is required to allow inter- compatibility with MECM console. MECM console is a required software system component – see attached memo confirming mandatory use.
MECM console mandatory use was confirmed via signed memo, 8/6/21. The NPS will continue monitoring the market for potential new commercial sources.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received, or anyone expressed interest:
There are limited number of companies offering content management software for MECM. 2Pint is the best value for the government based on the market research.
PR Number: 40571855
4. If this is a determination for sole source, the contracting officer certifies:
a. Only one source is available, or urgent and compelling circumstances exist.
b. The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable using the price analysis techniques described in FAR Part 13.106-3(a).
