LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION FOR MAC ORDER (above SAT)

1. IDENTIFICATION OF AGENCY AND CONTRACTING ACTIVITY: This is a Limited Source Justification. The requiring activity is the Naval Education Training Center (NETC) in conjunction with Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS), both located in Pensacola, FL; the contracting activity is the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Philadelphia Office.

2. NATURE/DESCRIPTION OF CONTRACT ACTION: This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304a through 2304d. This is a limited source action to be awarded as a modification of an existing order to Camber Corporation (other than small business concern) identified in paragraph 3 below. The order was issued to Camber on a best value, competitive basis where 3 quotes were received in response to the RFQ.

. The other two offerors were rated Unacceptable overall technically. As a result of the evaluation, Camber’s quote was determined to be most advantageous and the order was issued on 28 September 2012 in the total amount of $3,686,596.18.

3. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED SUPPLIES/SERVICES: The proposed acquisition is to add similar and interrelated work to the existing order issued to Camber. It is intended to acquire support for development of five additional units of generic radar system and part task trainers (GRPTTs) and subsequently having them certified to run on a Navy network. The first unit has already been developed under this order originally. In addition, the additional units will need services to support and create IAW Navy DOD policy an Information Assurance (IA) package, Interim Authority to Test (IATT) and Interim Authority to Operate (IATO). The order’s current period of performance will change with a completion date of 30 September 2015. This is a completion type order where the contractor will develop an end product, in this case GRPTTs, and the government will receive the completed end product at the end of the order. If Camber completes the additional work under this order the estimated IGE for this additional work is . If the additional work is competed as a new requirement, the Government estimate is $4,500,000.00 at the least. The estimated dollar value of the individual independent GRPTT is each. The labor associated with the development is estimated at . As such, FY13 OMN funds will be utilized.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF THE JUSTIFICATION RATIONALE AND/OR DEMONSTRATION OF CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS: The statutory authority which permits not providing each awardee a fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $3,000 issued under a multiple award contract is 10 U.S.C. 2304c, as implemented by FAR 16.505(b)(2) and, for orders exceeding $150,000, DFARS 216.505-70(b)(2).

The justification for limiting sources is

(iii) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order;

N00189-12-D-Z019 Task Order 03 was solicited on a full and open, competitive basis resulting in best value award to Camber in the total amount of $3,686,596.18 on 28 September 2012. Three quotes were received in response to the Request for Quotes. The effort originally entailed support to conduct, perform, and develop a GRPTT. The GRPTT’s components basically replicate a generic radar system operation without actually operating using a PC-based computer or simple electronic circuits to replicate test points in each component. Animation software is used to replicate some test points and the actual radar display and associated display faults. These additional units were not part of the original requirement because this was a test case on radar training. The overall consensus in the Navy is that the service member could only learn from a real radar system. This task order allowed for a contractor to develop a unit simulating a radar system in order to teach service members as part of their training in their field. This GRPTT is almost unbreakable and will dramatically reduce life cycle cost and since no dangerous voltages exist in the GRPTT (unlike a real radar) the risk to students is reduced. Camber was able to provide a prototype and subsequent GRPTT that was deemed successful and will be integrated into Navy training in the foreseeable future. Camber is the only contractor in industry right now that can provide this task trainer with all of the required specifications. Historically, other offerors have subcontracted to Camber to obtain the development of these task trainers. Since Camber has developed the GRPTT, they would be able to utilize the work already performed and apply it to the additional units. If this new work were to be competed amongst the nine contractors, they would be starting from the beginning with the prototype for the GRPTT. In addition, they would have to integrate the work already completed by Camber. This would result in duplicate effort because the new contractor would be starting from the beginning whereas Camber has done the work already. It would result in delays because instead of receiving the end product by 30 September 2015 it could take another 12 months after that date for the contractor to deliver the end product. Lastly, it would result in duplication of costs in that it is estimated that it would only cost Camber for the additional work whereas it is estimated that it would cost $4,500,000.00 for another contractor to perform the effort. By having Camber perform the additional work under TO 03, they can apply the work they already have done to the additional work thus realizing significant savings in effort, time and costs. This is the only modification for additional work that has been done under this task order and it is not anticipated that another modification for additional work will be done in the future. In the future, the GRPTT will be competed.

5. DETERMINATION OF THE BEST VALUE: The contract did establish the prices for the services to be fair and reasonable at time of contract award based on adequate price competition and historical price information. The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Philadelphia Office, Contracting Officer will determine, using the procedures in FAR 15.4, that the modification to this order represents the best value to meet the Government's needs. The total price of the order was determined to be fair and reasonable at time of issuance of the order based upon adequate price competition and historical price information.

6. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH: This task order was originally solicited on a full and open, competitive basis where three quotes were received. As stated above, a modification to add new work to N00189-12-D-Z019 TO 03 would result in significant savings in effort, time, and costs as the work being done by Camber under the order is interrelated to the new work and thus making it a logical follow-on to the work being done already. Camber has been performing satisfactorily, within costs, and without delays per the COR.

7. ANY OTHER SUPPORTING FACTS: This procurement uses a MAC and will be solicited and awarded in accordance with FAR Subpart 16.5. In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(D), this LSJ will be posted to Government Point of Entry (NECO) within 14 days of issuance of modification.

8. ACTIONS TAKEN TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO COMPETITION: All future requirements will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
