ORDER AGAINST FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title Ill of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 251, et seq.); Title 40 U.S.C. 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Mark the applicable exception and for each discuss how the cited authority applies in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(iv).

An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A));

Carahsoft Technology Corp. is the only source capable of providing the required Salesforce software licenses, proprietary platform support, and associated maintenance services necessary to sustain the HHS Consolidated Acquisition System (HCAS) operating environment within PRISM. Salesforce also serves as the system of record for Government audit purposes and supports user provisioning for onboarding new users into HCAS. Carahsoft is the only source identified that can provide the required Lightning Service Cloud Unlimited Edition, Lightning Platform Starter - Unlimited Edition, and Government Cloud products, together with the necessary maintenance and licensing support, at a fair and reasonable price to the Government. Accordingly, no other source can satisfy the Government's requirement without unacceptable risk of operational disruption, system incompatibility, audit support degradation, or duplication of cost.

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level or quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B));
