Limited Source Justification_EarthCam Services_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Source Justification document pursuant to RFO 12.102 submitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District.

The document authorizes a non-competitive procurement for continued services related to six EarthCam, Inc. brand DredgeCam HD construction monitoring cameras currently owned and operated by the USACE Seattle District Navigation Section. The contractor shall provide unlimited cellular data service for the cameras, Robotic Camera Software Support Package (including technical support, maintenance, and software upgrades with telephone product support), and archiving Time-Lapse Service at Platinum Service level (one image every five minutes). The cameras, associated hardware, software, and maintenance are proprietary to EarthCam, Inc., making it the sole source for these services. The justification cites that the cameras were purchased in 2017 and remain fully functional and serviceable; using an alternate vendor would void warranties and result in substantial cost duplication and unacceptable delays. Previous awarded contracts under this requirement are W912DW22P0007 and W912DW16F5002. The estimated contract value is redacted. The contracting officer, Alex Marcinkiewicz, certified the justification as accurate and determined the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable pursuant to RFO 12.204(a). Approval was granted to proceed with the EarthCam Services procurement on an other-than-full-and-open-competition basis under RFO 12.102, subject to fund availability.
