The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.

4. Identification of the justification rationale and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B). Only One Responsible

Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(C).

Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii(C), ASSA ABLOY is the only brand of equipment that will meet the Government’s needs for the following reasons. The Traka brand, which is made by ASSA ABLOY is the only brand that’s compatible with both NSWC PCD’s existing security system and their existing key management system. This purchase will expand the existing Traka key management system. If another brand of key management system were purchased, the entire key management system would have to be replaced, requiring an unnecessary additional expense. Therefore, it is imperative that the ASSA ABLOY brand Traka Key Management Integration be acquired.

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, ASSA ABLOY is the only brand that can meet this requirement.
