Limited Source Justification

1. Contracting Activity: United States Property and Fiscal Office (USPFO) Massachusetts (MA) Purchasing and Contracting (P&C) Office

2. Description of Action: The Massachusetts National Guard (MANG) G-6 proposes to utilize the Option to Extend Services IAW 52.217-8 to include up to six (6) months of an allowable extension period as an option for contract W912SV-21-F-0001 for Telecommunication Services. The total value of the base period is $660,000.00, and the option period is $385,000.00 for a total contract value of $1,045,000.00. Sufficient funds are available to fund 3.5 months, and up to six (6) months, pursuant to 52.217-8, as evidenced by the Requiring Activity’s funding documentation.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: NETWORX Telecommunication Services. This action is for $385,000.00. The Base Period was for $660,000.00 for a total contract value of $1,045,000.00.

4. Authority Cited: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays

5. Reason for Authority Cited: Army Regulation 25-13 Telecommunications and Unified Capabilities dated 25 March 2013 required the use of Networx for worx contract will be used for non-mission command administrative voice services. The Networx contract is the General Services Administration contract providing additional telecommunications

Networx. Removal was due to contract expiration in 2020 with the Enterprise Information System was due to replace Networx, however this replacement has been delayed. As of 17 February 2021, National Guard Bureau (NGB) has informed the

Solutions] EIS has not been offered for MA yet. Once the fair opportunity decision has been made they'll be contacting us with the provider for the state. So the Networx contract under the authority of 52.217-8 is necessary to provide continued, uninterrupted services while we await the ability to transition to EIS.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: This agency is required to use NETWORX Telecommunication Services GSA Schedule GS-00T-07NSD-0008 with MCI COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES LLC d/b/a VERIZON BUSINESS SERVICES. As indicated in the previous paragraph, MCI COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES LLC is the only approved telecommunication provider for the MANG until transition to EIS is

Mar 2021 offered to the state and the provider under EIS is communicated. As such, no competition is available for this effort.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: It is not possible to compete the current acquisition. An extension to the current contract under the authority of 52.217-8 is necessary to provide continued, uninterrupted services while we await the ability to transition to EIS.

8. Market Research: No market research was conducted for this effort. This effort is extend the current contract under the authority of 52.217-8. Although FAR 52.217-8 was present in the contract, it was not evaluated at the time of award. Normally this would necessitate a Justification and Approval (J&A) IAW FAR 6.302-2 Urgent and Compelling, however this effort is an award off of a mandated GSA Schedule for Telecommunication Services to a required source. A J&A is completed IAW FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(A) for urgent and compelling needs under FAR 8 efforts. Use of the NETWORX schedules is approved under a Class J&A IAW FAR 6.302-7 Public Interest.
