Generated when entered in log

1. Agency and Contracting Activity: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(1)) MARSOC Contracting

BLDG RR400

Camp Lejeune, NC 28460

2. Description of Action: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(2)) Approval is being requested for a new firm-fixed price contract for FY21 in the amount of $72,000.00. O&M funds will be utilized. This is a limited source action to be awarded as a new purchase order to Motorola Solutions, INC under the authority reference above.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(3)) The Viper USB-C power cable will allow the SOCS-F to use commercial USB battery packs to power the Motorola Viper and Calypso we already have in inventory. Each cable is $1200 and has the proprietary connector to use with the Motorola Viper and Calypso.

4. Authority Cited: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(4)) 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or

Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(2), Unusual and Compelling Urgency, as implemented by FAR

6.302-2 (NOTE: Performance may not exceed 12 months or the minimal amount of time to recompete.)

5. Reason for Authority Cited: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(5)) MARFORSOC is acquiring equipment to address capability gaps. Motorola Solutions, INC is the only vendor that makes the equipment capable of meeting the requirement. No other vendor is currently capable of fielding comparable equipment.

For the above reasons, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to award a sole-source contract to Motorola Solutions, INC in the amount of $72,000.00.

6. Efforts/Actions to Increase Competition: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(6) & (11)) A notice of intent to negotiate a sole source award with Motorola Solutions, INC will be publicized to the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website on 12 May 2021 as required by FAR 5.2. The notice will state that responsible sources capable of meeting the requirement may submit technical, delivery, pricing, and past performance data sufficient to determine capability to perform. Any responses received will be evaluated to determine if a competitive award can be made.

No actions were taken to procure data rights, and data rights should not be procured due to excessive costs.

7. Market Research: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(8)) A general Internet search for "FATD00731" returns information on no websites. A search of GSA Advantage reveals no schedule holders that can provide the VIPER USB-C Power Cable – FATD00731 product.

The Technical Industrial Liaison Office (TILO) and USSOCOM Directorate IDIQ databases were reviewed as part of the market research process. However, none of these tools identified potential sources for this requirement.

The contracting office and the requiring activity will continue to perform market research to identify potential products/services that will meet the Government's needs and sources that are capable of providing the necessary support.

8. Other Authorities/Factors: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(9)) Not applicable.
