JUSTIFICATION & APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

for SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS OVER $10,000 ($2,000/$2500 for Construction/Services)

AND UP TO $250,000

(See FAR 13.106-1)

Date: 05/12/2021

PR Number:40527903 _

1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):

Annual RolP maintenance/service agreement with Catalyst Communications. This is a service agreement for technical

Support on the radio system that links COLO, RICH, PETE, and ASIS radio systems together with the COLO Dispatch Center .

Anticipated cost is $6,416.00. With a base year and 4 option years total contract price is: $32,080

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

X -- Only one responsible source.

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:

There is an existing Inter-Park Agreement between COLO, RICH, PETE, and ASIS for purposes of dispatch services using

Radio Over Internet Protocol (ROIP). Currently all parks on the agreement use Catalyst Communications ROIP system to link radio systems together. Catalyst Communications is the only vendor that will provide maintenance and service on Catalyst systems. Catalyst supports those components and features that enable the continued operability for this critical communications system to work. To deviate to a different vendor would require the complete replacement of all RoIP equipment at 4 different parks.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:

No other ROIP maintenance support options will satisfy the needs of the existing Catalyst ROIP system. Consideration was given to the possible conversion of the existing ROIP system but any conversion would require total replacement of the existing Catalyst system not just at COLO but also at PETE, RICH, and ASIS.
