Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition – FAR Part 13 Acquisitions under the SAT

V 1.3 (28 June 2018)

MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION

FOR A FAR PART 13 ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED

ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, 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).

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.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Company Item Description Part number QTY

RF Controls Smart Antenna CS445B 24

RF Controls Mounting Kits 24

RF Controls Annual Software License 24

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

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

A. _X__ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

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.

LOGCOM’s modernization effort, MCPIC (Marine Corps Prepositioning Information

Center) is being expanded to the Consolidated Storage Program (CSP) to improve container management. These components are needed to expand the CSP to Camp

Lejeune. This MCPIC infrastructure contains pRFID readers, wireless controllers, and other necessary items to operate MCPIC and conduct automated pRFID operations. A critical component of this implementation is a passive real-time location system (RTLS) that tracks the movement of tagged assets throughout the warehouse. Specifically this

Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition – FAR Part 13 Acquisitions under the SAT

V 1.3 (28 June 2018) implementation uses passive Signal Acquisition and Source Location (SASL) antennas installed on the warehouse ceiling.

The CS-445B passive real-time location system provides highly granular inventory and asset location data across the LOGCOM supply chain. It delivers precise, hands-free and continuous location data on RAIN radio frequency identification passive ultra-high-frequency tags at distances greater than 25 feet. The same equipment being used in MCB

Barstow, Blount Island Command (BIC) and MCB Albany is what needed in Camp

Lejeune, so as to NOT cause incompatibility between these sensitive systems and locations.
