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.

EOLA Power is qualified and has historically supplied NEDU our UPS maintenance needs (most recently 5 year option contract N61331-26-P-0125) which are critical to ensuring our divers’ life support systems stay online during power outages at NEDU. The replacement UPSes will be included under the maintenance contract, offering continuity and saving the government time and money.

These UPS systems are written into our Scope of Certification boundary and are the only allowable systems that can replace our obsolete units. To use another company to conduct the maintenance would require additional knowledge of the system during the removal and replacement of the legacy UPS systems that EOLA Power has historically maintained. Use of another vendor may change or introduce new parameters that may be harmful to all diving systems tested and maintained at NEDU and negatively affect the electrical life support systems that are vital components of the OSF. Therefore, it is imperative that EOLA Power be used to limit the risk of NEDU personnel working within the systems that utilize the various equipment protected under these UPS systems.

As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does not expect significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement.

Therefore, it is in the Governments’ best interest to acquire the replacement services with EOLA

Power who currently and historical maintenance services of EOLA Power to support the NEDU mission.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

For reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, EOLA Power is the only source that can meet the

Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov. REDACTED.

7. Any other facts supporting the justification.

None.

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, EOLA Power is the only company that can provide the service.
