Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 325 CONS Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F4A3506337AW01

Project/Program Name: E-911 Subscription Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This requirement is for the procurement of subscriptions and maintenance services for the currently in place 911 system. Currently there is a service in place that connects the Security Forces squadron with the Bay County 911 system. This is necessary and can only be continued with the purchase of the requested subscription service.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

Currently it is Intrado's system that is in place, and as such they are the only one's capable of providing the subscription service. Research was done to determine if there were any distributors of Intrado that could potentially provide the service as well, but none were found.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research was conducted via multiple sources including all mandatory sources. However, none were found to be distributor's of Intrado, which holds the proprietary rights to the current E-911 software and as such are the only contractor capable of providing the subscription service.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Market research will continue to be conducted to find more sources for this requirement in the future, however until the contractor establishes distributors with the rights to their software, it is unlikely any additional sources will be found without replacing the entire E-911 system.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
