Control Number: LRE FY21-13
d) Impact- Selection of a manufacturer other than Software House would mainly impact the existing server room capacity requiring redesign and additional personnel would be required to be in compliance with RMF requirements. For every different manufacturer tens of thousands of dollars in indirect costs are required. Therefore, it is extremely likely that an award to any source other than Software House, for security equipment, would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that would not be recovered through competition.
6. Efforts to Obtain Competition:
Market research was conducted to determine if other sources were available for potential competition. Corps of Engineers personnel conducted internet searches, catalog research, reviews of past projects, telephone interviews with potential sources, and meetings with vendors.
The Corps of Engineers also publicized a notice of intent to sole source to the beta.sam website to invite participation and comment on the subject sole-source procurement. The notice was posted on 18-Feb-2021 with a suspense to respond by 02-Mar-2021. Any party that responds to the notice will be considered as a potential service provider; however, no responses have been received to date to express interest or to otherwise present information with respect to this contract action. Competition will be obtained during solicitation of the overall construction contract through the use of competitive procedures used to promote and provide for full and open competition.
7. Actions to Increase Competition:
Market research as described in paragraph 8 was conducted to determine if other sources were available for potential competition. The Corps of Engineers does not plan to do anything to increase competition for this specific equipment because there is already adequate competition within the market and the lack of competition is not the reason for this sole source. This J&A will be posted during the solicitation and additional sources will be considered if brought during the solicitation period.
8. Market Research:
Prior to the development of the proposed action, USACE personnel conducted market research to determine the availability of open market sources for the procurement. Efforts included the following:
A. Contacting knowledgeable individuals in Government and industry regarding market capabilities to meet requirements.
B. Reviewing the results of recent market research undertaken to meet similar or identical requirements.
C. Reviewing catalogs and other generally available product literature published by manufacturers, distributors, and dealers or available on-line.
D. Publicized a notice of intent to sole source to the beta.sam website for additional comments on the procurement, as described in paragraph 6.
