U.S.C. 2304(c) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC-PC) Unmanned Vehicles In Service

Engineering Agency (ISEA) has been designated responsible for system engineering, integration, development of training materials, system documentation, system testing, maintenance and inventory. The items listed in Section 3 are not functioning properly and are in need of inspection and possible repair. RSS is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and has proprietary knowledge of the inner workings of the items and, as such, is the only source for this service.

As such, the government does not expect significant savings through competition and it is more advantageous to the Government to award on a sole source basis to RSS for the service listed in

Section 3.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, RSS is the only source that can meet the

Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov.

7. Any other facts supporting the justification.

None.

8. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made.

As stated in paragraph 4 above, RSS is the only source that can meet this requirement.
