About this file
This document is a Determination and Findings (DnF) for a single-source procurement by Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC). The requirement is to purchase 12 new SatPaq units with one-year annual subscriptions and extend services for 12 previously supplied units from Higher Ground, LLC. The annual subscription service is intended to provide over-the-horizon communications in support of MARFORSOC training.
The justification for sole-source procurement is based on the unique and proprietary nature of the SatPaq devices, which MARSOC currently owns. Higher Ground is identified as the only company providing these specialized communications devices, with no third-party distributors available. The procurement is valued under $250,000 and is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), with the rationale that awarding to any other source would result in substantial cost duplication not recoverable through competition.

DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS
DETERMINATION FOR SOLICITING FROM A SINGLE SOURCE (FAR 13.106-1(b)(1))
Subj: SatPaq / PR M209705723445
FINDINGS
Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), G-6 and MRR, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina has submitted a supply and service requirement to purchase (12) SatPaq units along with (1) year annual subscriptions for each of the (12) units, and extend services for (12) already supplied units. The annual subscription service is intended to provide the over the horizon communications in support of MARFORSOC training. The required services and supply will be sole-sourced through Higher Ground, LLC, based on the following:
1. The required services are unique supplies services available from only one source with unique capabilities (i.e., SOF peculiar and or specialized in nature). Higher Ground is the only company that provides the requested supplies and services; there is no third-party distributors. These are proprietary devices that MARFORSOC currently owns. We require this service to utilize the devices as intended in support of training objectives and mission accomplishment. The required services are deemed to be available only from the original source for highly specialized equipment. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
DETERMINATION
Based on the foregoing, it is hereby determined that the subject requirement involves services/supplies that must be sourced through the identified single responsible Contractor and is within the concept set forth by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Therefore, award and execution of the contract is appropriate.
