Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) PART 8

LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (LSJ)

Triage and Threat Integration Services

HS002115A0122 0003

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY - PROCUREMENT SENSITIVE - SOURCE SELECTION SENSITIVE

The Government is saving money by continuing to utilize this contract vehicle. Modification P00001 was issued in May 2017 which increased the number of reports/assessments under this contract and during that negotiation, pricing for all reports/assessments were discounted further. Therefore, the Government is now paying even less for the reports/assessments than at the time of award, while complexity of work and processing time has remained constant. Based on this analysis, the KO determined the Government will obtain the best value through and extension of services.

6. Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition:

Nothing to add to this section that has not already been articulated within this justification document.

7. A statement of the actions, if any, the Agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before a subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is required:

No follow-on to this requirement is anticipated beyond the execution of this option as a new competitive contract incorporating these services and others is in the final stages of being awarded. Future similar requirements will be competed to the maximum extent possible.

8. Requiring activity/program management office certification:

I hereby certify that this justification is made in good faith, that the supporting data and information are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief and that I would not be making this request if it were feasible to fully compete this requirement. I further certify that this request is not the result of lack of advanced planning or a desire to expend funds while those funds are still available.

9. Contracting Officer’s Certification

I hereby determine that the anticipated cost for this contract action will be fair and reasonable. I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief and FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C) applies to this order.
