DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) Contracting Officers may solicit from only one source if the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization).
Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), when a single source is identified to provide a portion of the purchase as a Brand-Name, the documentation in paragraph 3 must state that this determination is only for a portion of the requirement.
1. Agency and Contracting Activity.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service Chinle Service Unit
2. Name and Address of Single Source.
Brand Name: Dell Federal
3. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Cost.
The contractor shall provide Dell products: Latitude 7650, OptiPlex all-in-one 7420, Dell keyboard, Dell wired and mobile wireless mouse and Dell 24” monitor. Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility Optometry department require a contractor to deliver various Dell Brand products to replace current Clinical Support Services computers which have reached end of lifecycle. IGCE is fair and reasonable to market price.
4. Description of Circumstances, including why only one source is reasonably available.
IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), specific characteristics of the Dell brand laptops that limit the availability to a sole source are the facility infrastructure has been aligned with Dell’s technologies and protocols for set management and functions. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because CCHCF currently has invested in an Enterprise Architecture comprising of the "DELL" hardware and services. The facility infrastructure has been aligned with vendor technologies and protocols for set management and functions. The cost/time to merge technologies/environments and to ensure an overall stable infrastructure while using mixed architecture would greatly multiply requirements of man-hours/capital investments.
5. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price.
