About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) seeking sole-source approval for expert services.

The government is requesting a clinical and forensic psychiatrist specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry to provide assessment and analysis of evidence for an unspecified case involving child sexual abuse. The estimated contract value is $36,340. The requirement is justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), which permits sole-source procurement when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The justification identifies Dr. Freeman as the sole qualified source, citing his specialization in child and adolescent psychiatry since 2009, his clinical evaluation experience, and trial testimony capabilities. The government asserts that the unique issues inherent to child sexual abuse cases—including typical offender grooming behaviors, child victim behavior patterns, and trauma response—require specialized expertise unavailable from alternative sources. The expert was specifically requested by Government Counsel and approved by the Convening Authority Flag Officer. The customer is YNC Carol McMullen, with the requisition numbered UCGI094Y26/2AWITNES and dated 12/17/2025. The contracting officer signature block is incomplete, with no date or signature provided at the time of document generation.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

The expert’s assessment and analysis will help the government distill this case’s evidence and present it to the factfinder.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

Dr. Freeman is a clinical and forensic psychiatrist that specializes in the fields of child and adolescent psychiatry. He has practiced in these fields since 2009, including providing clinical evaluations and testifying at trials. This case’s investigation and charges show that typical offender behaviors (including grooming), child victim behavior, and trauma response are likely to be critical issues at trial.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

This expert was requested by Government Counsel and approved by Convening Authority Flag Officer.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

There are many issues unique to child sexual abuse cases that the government will be unable to understand and present to the factfinder absent the assistance of a specialized expert

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL

AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

This expert was requested by Government Counsel and approved by Convening Authority Flag Officer.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.
