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).

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

This is a Brand Name Justification that applies to the following item:

Item Brand Name Model/Part Number EOS C200 Cinema Camera (EF-Mount) Canon 2215C002

The Communication and Strategy and Operations (CommStrat) Department aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii has a requirement for a Canon EOS C200 Cinema Camera (EF-Mount).

CommStrat utilizes the Canon EOS C200 due to the continuation of products.

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

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

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

B. X BRAND NAME

Item required must be a brand name, product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

A Brand Name is required due to the continuation of products considering CommStrat currently uses the Canon EOS C200 Cinema Camera (EF Mount). All accessories such as lenses, A/V chords, etc. are compatible to this camera. If a different brand were to be procured new accessories compatible to that brand would also have to be acquired. This would cost approximately $50,000.00. Due to this consideration of a cinema camera manufactured by other companies must be precluded.
