7. Requiring Activity Certification:

The acquisition alternatives that were considered to fulfill this requirement were NETCENTS-2, GSA Schedule 70, and NASA SEWP. NETCENTS2was the first alternative. A request for information (RFI) was issued via email to NETCENT 2 contract holder on July 08, 2018. Three vendors responded to the RFI stating they could not support this requirement; therefore, no further consideration was given to this vehicle. GSA Schedule 70 was the second alternative.

Market research determined that Professional Systems Associates was the only authorized GSA schedule holder to sell the Software. Professional Systems Associates provided a sole source letter to GSA dated June 18, 2018 stating that CMPRO Software is the sole manufacturer of the CMPRO software and there are no resellers or other contracted entities. Based on the results of the market research it was determine that the requirement would be procured under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program under the authority of FAR Subpart 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. The requested CMPRO support is available from Professional Systems Associates under GSA Schedule Contract number GS-35F-0473S. However, upon further review it was discovered that not all items listed on the BOM are available on Professional Systems Associates GSA Schedule GS- 35F-0473S. There is over $10,000.00 in items that are not available on GSA Schedule on the bill of materials that exceeds the GSA Schedule open market item threshold.

Therefore, an RFQ will be issued directly to PSA, Inc. as an open market buy under FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures and will result in a sole source purchase order in accordance with FAR 13.5

The manufacturer, PSA Inc. does not have resellers or distributors for this specific server integration and system upgrade due to proprietary data rights. Based on market research findings this requirement will be best fulfilled via direct award to PSA, Inc.
