Contracting Officer’s Determination Memorandum for Sole Source (Including Brand Name) for less than SAT In accordance with FAR 13.106-1 (b) (1), for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) contracting officers 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, brand-name or industrial mobilization). The determination must explain why the item or service provider is the only one that will meet the Government's requirement. Statements such as "only know source" or "only source which can meet the required delivery date" are unacceptable to support a sole source purchase.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:

Preventative Maintenance and Service for the warehouse automated storage, "Spacesaver" equipment in building 3315.

CHECK THE TYPE OF PURCHASE. Provide the unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, including the reason(s) no other supplies or services can be used to meet the Government's needs. If you are stating the purchase is mandated by law, regulation, or policy, state the publication, date, and include a copy of the publication with the package. If the request is based on unusual or compelling urgency, describe the circumstances leading to the urgency, including when the requirement became known. (Urgency cannot be justified due to expiring funds or a lack of planning by the customer.)

The warehouse automated storage equipment located in building 3315, LEMC, was purchase from and installed by Diversified Storage Solutions, Inc (DSSI). DSSI is the only authorized "Spacesaver" brand dealer and service group in PA, Northern WV, Southern NJ, and Delaware. DSSI must also be utilized for PM and service in order to keep the extended warranties in place on the currently installed equipment. This requirement will cover troubleshooting, repairs, ordering parts, and PM on the "Spacesaver" product. DSSI is a sole source that serves a quad state area, and must be used in order to troubleshoot and maintain software and hardware issues with the "Spacesaver" system.

This is a Brand Name Purchase ● Sole Source Purchase To the best of my knowledge at this point in time, the information stated above is both true SIGNATURE AND TITLE OF CUSTOMER and accurate.
