4. The statutory authority permitting sole source.

The authority is in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii).

The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 USC 1901(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 13.106(b)(1).

5. A statement demonstrating the unique qualifications of the proposed contractor or the nature of the action requiring use of the authority.

BMS, LLC is uniquely familiar with the onsite equipment. Under the previous contract, 36C10X21P0003, BMS, LLC installed several items of equipment that comprise the QITC Building Data Center Cooling System Monitoring and Automation Systems.

Specifically, they installed the Liebert Data Center Equipment.

In addition, several of the items of the QITC Building Monitoring and Automation Systems equipment, including components of the mission-critical CRAC systems and emergency generators, are already currently under a BMS maintenance and service contract and under warranty. Consequently, BMS, LLC is uniquely familiar with certain of the existing critical systems equipment and is uniquely qualified to provide services that integrate all of the existing equipment on site.

BMS, LLC is a certified Vertiv Vendor, which allows it to obtain Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts, such as controllers and other communication devices, overnight, in order to maintain cooling systems integrity. Management of the QITC automation and monitoring systems – which will include planning, estimating, and completing portal to portal communications - invariably will require collaboration with multiple equipment vendors and with at least five different equipment manufacturers for which BMS, LLC is already certified vendor. BMS, LLC is experienced in such complex vendor collaborations and, as a certified vendor, has access to replacement parts and services necessary to accomplish device replacement requirements.

6. A description of efforts made to ensure offers/quotes are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a notice was or critical systems equipment and is uniquely qualified to provide services that integrate all of the existing equipment on site.

10. A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.

11. A statement of any actions the agency will take to remove or overcome any future barriers to competition.
