Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition_AN_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Documentation form for a purchase order over $10,000 but not exceeding $250,000, dated November 2022. The document describes an asset tracking platform for the Andean Region, specifically to support operations across multiple networks and constellations. The procurement is for Global Satellite Engineering (GSA) and GlobalStar to provide a unique GPS-based asset tracking system for tracking PNP and DEA assets and surveillance targets throughout the Southern Cone.

The document justifies the sole source acquisition by stating that Global Satellite Engineering is the only vendor with the necessary depth of features and support for the required system. The solution includes hardware, software, licensing services, and specific tracking capabilities. The Contracting Officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available to supply the required services, and that changing vendors would result in substantial duplication of costs. The procurement is a recurring requirement, and the Contracting Officer certifies that the order will only be placed if the price is found to be fair and reasonable.
