Delivery is requested 90 days after receipt of the order.

The Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open

Competition

41 U.S.C. 1901 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority

The

Use of another manufacturer’s product would require replacement of current hardware and new evaluation to ensure compatibility and reliability resulting in a duplication of costs, estimated in excess of $700,000.00 and take an additional 18 months for research, development, certification, and testing. These costs could not be recovered through full and open competition. Dell is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and has a network of authorized resellers for these commercial off the shelf (COTS) items.

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

Offerors as Practicable

Market research included reviewing the results of recent market research undertaken to meet similar or identical requirements;

querying Government databases that provide information relevant to agency acquisitions; contacting knowledgeable individuals in

Government and industry regarding market capabilities to meet requirements. Additional market research conducted through internet searches has shown that the requested equipment is available through multiple authorized resellers, to include multiple small business concerns under the General Services

Administration Federal Supply Schedules and National Aeronautics and Space Administration Solutions for Enterprise Wide contract vehicles.

The proposed contract will be posted on the U.S. General Services

Administration (GSA) eBuy website and authorized resellers who express an interest in this requirement will be considered. It is not practicable, for the reasons discussed in paragraph 4 above, for any company other than Dell or an authorized reseller to provide the required equipment.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Costs

The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government for the equipment covered by the J&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, Dahlgren Contracts

Department has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the type of equipment covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, Dahlgren Contracts Department will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
