I. Agency and Contracting Activity (RFO 6.104-1(a)(1)):

Agency: ACC Contracting Activity: 23 CONS

II. Nature and/or description of the action being approved (RFO 6.104-1(a)(2)):

This justification is to procure POLARIS vehicle parts for the 820th Combat Operations Squadrons MRZR vehicles. This will be a new Firm-Fixed price contract.

III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs (RFO 6.104-1(a)(3)):

The 820th Combat Operations Squadron is in need of parts for their MRZR vehicles, to ensure safety, reliability and long-term sustainment of these vehicles. The supplies that are needed, are POLARIS specific components that can be put on and swapped out onto the MRZR vehicles.

IV. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(4)):

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

V. Rationale for Use of Authority (RFO 6.104-1(a)(5)):

The MRZR vehicles are only compatible with POLARIS components, as other manufacturers components and parts are not compatible with the vehicles or fail to meet quality and durability tests for sustained military use. This means that only the POLARIS components are able to meet the needs of the requirement.

VI. Integrated Market Analysis and Efforts to Solicit Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(6), (8), and (10)):

A sources sought was posted on GSA, where only one vendor responded. Following this, numerous phone calls were made and multiple other vendors were found to able to meet the needs of the requirement. This resulted in at least 5 vendors being located as able to meet the needs of the requirement.

VII. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost (RFO 6.104-1(a)(7)):

The Contracting Officer is responsible for evaluating, determining, and documenting the anticipated contract cost/price is fair and reasonable in accordance with RFO Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing.

VIII. Any Other Facts Supporting the Justification (RFO 6.104-1(a)(9)):

The supplies that are needed to support MRZR vehicle operations for the 820th COS are Polaris specific components that can be put on and swapped out onto the MRZR vehicles.

IX. Actions to Overcome Barriers to Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(11):

Market research will continue to be accomplished prior to future acquisitions to identify additional sources capable of meeting the requirement and will remove brand-name restrictions whenever technically feasible.
