Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition - FAR Part 13 Acquisitions under the SAT

MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION

FOR A FAR PART 13 ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED

ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13 .106-1 (b )( 1 )(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contractmg Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the req_uirement (or portion of the requirement to be sole-sourced) is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Sencha ExtJS Premium License Support Service will support six licenses currently held by the TMDE Division software developers. Allows for creation of more efficient and effective user interfaces, mobile application support for new devices, and tools that allow for improved debugging of newly developed ana problematic code.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

A. _x_ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. _· RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. __x_ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

This acquisition is a renewal of software support purchased under contract M67004- 18-P-4016. Purchasing software support from the OEM will allow for continuous usage of what is already installed and accessible for the current user community desktop environment. Having to develop the same type of code already provided by Sencha Inc. would result in additional and unnecessary cost to the government in both man hours and labor costs. Purchasing Software Support from OEM will also include updates to the entire system at no additional cost to the government which will reduce web site development by allowing developers to take advantage of pre-built interfaces.
