About this file
This memorandum provides a justification for using other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The Marine Forces Reserve Cell Repeater system requires an upgrade, as the equipment currently installed from JDTEK is outdated. JDTEK previously installed the system and proposes an affordable upgrade, which would avoid potential compatibility issues and delays from using an alternate vendor. As the sole authorized distributor and technical representative for the original equipment, and given the need to upgrade existing JDTEK equipment for compatibility, JDTEK qualifies as the only responsible source for this requirement under the simplified acquisition threshold. The related federal contract opportunity is a special notice from the United States Marine Corps for offers on a Cell Phone Signal Repeater.

CUI//SP-PROCURE//DL ONLY
V 1.5 (14 March 2023)
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, Contracting 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 requirement (or portion of the requirement to be sole-sourced) is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:
MARFORRES Cell Repeater system is outdated and in need of an upgrade. The MARFORRES Cell Repeater System connects Cellular connectivity to Cell towers in the area via Antennas on the roof and transmits them via Access Points throughout the building. The equipment currently installed is from JDTEK.
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. ___ 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.
3. _X__ OTHER REASONS. JDTEK equipment is currently installed, and in need of upgrade. The proposal for an upgrade is more affordable than a full replacement via the original vendor. If completed by any vendor other than JDTEK compatibility issues may exist and cause unnecessary delays.
