4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 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.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc is the sole proprietor, original equipment Manufacturer, and the only authorized provider of hardware, software, warranty, maintenance, and managed services (Technical Assistance Center) to the ELMR system for the Marine Corps. This is a follow-on contract for warranty and maintenance service for highly specialized equipment. The original contract M6785412C4950, for this system was based on competition and awarded to Harris Corporation on 29 March 2013 for a base period and four twelve-month option periods with an aggregate amount of $16,749,000.36 for the design and installation of an entirely new system with equipment, warranty, and maintenance service. The cost of soliciting and awarding a new contract to any other source would result in a substantial duplication of costs to the Government that is not to be recovered through competition as the entire system would have to be replaced.
