Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information Contracting Activity: 673 CONS/LGCC Purchase Request/ F1W3MF7157A001

Identification Number:

Project/Program Name: Motorola Technical Training Estimate Contract Cost (Including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required The 673 CS/SCOT is requesting in-house technical training for the following Motorola equipment and subjects: APX CPS Radio Programing and Template Building with OTAP; Key Management Facility (KMF); MCC 7000 Series Dispatch Console; MCD 5000 with OMC

- Configuration and Operator; MC 2500 Operation; MC 3000 Operation.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source Due to Motorola's equipment and software being proprietary, the training that is requested can only be provided by Motorola Solutions, Inc.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition Multiple vendors of Motorola Solutions, Inc. were contacted in regards to their ability to provide the requested training. Two (2) vendors responded and said they were not able to provide training, all training was provided through Motorola Solutions, Inc. I contacted Motorola Solutions, Inc. regarding possible other sources for the requested training, and was informed that Motorola is the exclusive provider for training and that no other vendor is certified or guaranteed to provide the adequate level of training.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards At this time, no steps can be taken to preclude future single source awards due to the proprietary nature of Motorola Solutions, Inc.'s products.

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.
