Date: Mar 5, 2018 PR #: PRO0003632

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) Soliciting from a single source. (1) 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).

1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated price):

This J&A authorizes the procurement of annual Rimage 8200N Disc Duplicator service and support. This maintenance renewal includes a base and two option years. The estimated cost for this support renewal is approximately $12,798.

2. Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

a.

b.

c.

d.

Urgent and compelling need exists.

Urgent and Compelling Explanation (include critical delivery or performance dates, when you became aware of the requirement. Specific statement of how the mission would be impacted, financial or otherwise if the required delivery or performance dates are not met.):

Exclusive Licensing Brand Name.

Brand Name Explanation (Particular item is essential to the Government's requirement. Other products lack particular features to meet agency need)

Industrial Mobilization

Explanation:

The Rimage 8200N Disc Duplicator is a critical tool that is used to duplicate 95% of the computer media (CD/DVDs) that is shipped worldwide to the JDISS customer base. Changing this equipment for other comparable hardware would entail significant re-engineering of JDISS Infrastructure components not to mention budget reduction for this current fiscal year and out-years.

3. Market survey (explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest.)

No market research was conducted because this requirement is maintenance of hardware owned by the Government that is proprietary to the manufacture. The manufacture, Global Technologies Group Inc, is the only known source with the proprietary resources and OME parts that can service the Government-owned equipment.

4. The contracting officer certifies that the circumstances described on this document are accurate and valid. Circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.
