Estimated cost is $12,000 per year for a total of $60,000.00. Period of performance for this will be from February of 2024 through February of 2029.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

The use of other than full and open competition is necessitated by sole source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) as implemented in FAR 6.302-2, due to the only approved and authorized company to access the SLED data base, servers, software programs and provide information regarding alerts in real time to law enforcement officers from vehicles entering MCAS Beaufort. The use of other than full and open competition is required due to the government not having any other authorized vendor, distributors of the vendor, or capability to compete contract in other means.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable.

Market research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10. This was conducted by oral solicitation, internet search, and email. The vendors contacted did not possess the capabilities to fulfill the requirement because they did not have access to the servers or software required to perform the task of interfacing with equipment and SLED servers /software and providing feedback and alerts.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.
