Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

On the 6th September 2022, a Sources Sought was posted on SAM.gov and NASA's Solution for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) for a Command and Control (C2) dispatch System, closing on the 13th September 2022. The sources sought was also sent to as in inquiry to determine if their capabilities had changed to meet these requirements, no response was received. This Sources Sought only yielded one (1) result, MCS of Tampa, Inc.

A search was conducted on the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) for the required Command and Control (C2) Dispatch System. This search yield two (2) results, a contract awarded on the September 15, 2017 to Unify Inc ( FA570217P0198) and a contract awarded on July 29, 2021 to MCS of Tampa, Inc (FA850121P0031).

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

In order to remove or overcome barriers to competition, the Government will continue to survey the commercial marketplace to ensure market conditions have remained unchanged before making any subsequent acquisitions for similar requirements.

However, interoperability and compatibility is entirely dependent on industry. If there have been any changes, further market research will be conducted for validation.
