4. Authority Cited: Title Ill of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41U.S.C. 251, et. Seq) and Title 40 U.S.C 501, Services for Executive Agencies, as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6 and substantiated by the following:

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) and 8.405-6(b)(1)Brand Name FAR 8.405-6(b)(1 ). Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer.

5. Reasons for Authority Cited: CARA-RRW personnel are currently trained in the operations and maintenance of Rajant Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) Mesh Node Wireless Radio Systems hardware and software. Laboratory instruments must be compatible with existing systems in order to communicate and pass settings data to each other. An independent system (non-Rajant) would be detrimental to the Government in that all current operations would cease during installation and training of assigned personnel.

This process can be expected to halt operations for a minimum of 30 work days. Purchase of requested systems would allow for a seamless transition in terms of installation, training, maintenance.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: I accordance with requirements restricted to a specific brand name over $25K, this justification will be redacted and posted to GSA with the solicitation as notification to all capable vendors. Government will continue to limit competition versus sole source. The Government continue to implement the following efforts to increase competition:

-Review Government and/or commercial databases for relevant information.

-Review source lists for identical or similar items obtained from Government, professional, and/or industry sources. Identify source lists and date conducted
