JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION < SAT

REFERENCES:

In accordance with FAR 6.001 (a), full J&A documentation is not required for contracts awarded using simplified acquisition procedures of FAR 13 (except commercial items under FAR 13.5 > $150,000) FAR 13.106 (b) (1) (i) states that, “The contracting officer may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization). The following documentation constitutes the rationale for this decision.

DOCUMENTATION:

(1) Requiring Activity: DFAS Columbus, Ohio.

(2) Supplies or services being procured:

The work includes procurement of a 4-year maintenance agreement contract with Cadapult FM, with three of the years being option years to maintain our current facility maintenance software work order system. This system is required in order for facilities to maintain the DFAS facilities (Building 21 and 21A). This system allows communication with our maintenance contractor, and maintenance work order creation as required by contract.

(3) Reason that this is a sole source procurement (i.e., proposed contractor's unique qualifications, etc.):

The software for the DFAS Columbus facility work order system is proprietary to Cadapult FM and can only be managed and changed by Cadapult.

(4) Market survey (indicate if any other firms were contacted or expressed interest)

DFAS Columbus has already acquired and is using the Cadapult work order system. The only company that can provide the software maintenance is Cadapult FM. Procuring a new work order system would be cost prohibitive.

(6) Contracting Officer’s certification

I hereby certify that this justification is made in good faith, that the supporting data and information are accurate and complete to the best of my
