3. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C.3304(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(c) – Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Identification of the justification rationale. The acquisition is being conducted under the procedures of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) – Soliciting from a single source. The justification rationale for restricting competition is the Zebra Technologies’ scanners integrates well with the Evidence Management Portal (EMP) and easily configurable. Zebra Technologies has multiple authorized resellers. The rationale for the Pelican products is that NCIS field tested multiple products where it was determined the Pelican case is the best fit the NCIS agents’ needs. Pelican is the sole manufacturer, but has multiple authorized resellers.

4. Description of the item or service required, statement that the requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government, the estimated cost, and required delivery date or performance period.

NCIS is in need of a durable carrying cases that can be used while traveling that includes foam to safely store and transport printers and scanners for evidence. The interior space of the carrying case needs to be 20” x 14” x 10”. This required size provides ample space for a printer, scanner, and existing Surface Pros, all while meeting the maximum airline carry on restrictions. Additionally, the case seals needs to prevent dirt, debris, sand, and water from entering the case during certain weather conditions. In addition, the case must include locks that have press and pull latches to keep the equipment safe.

NCIS also requires barcode scanners and label printers that integrate with the EMP to be able to properly and efficiently document evidence. Specifications for all items are as follows:
