4. Statntorv Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

This justification is prepared under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2), as implemented by FAR 6.302- 2(a)(2), Unusual and Compelling Urgency.

5. Rationale Justifving Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

In accordance with FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency, the agency may use other than competitive procedures to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals when: (1) an unusual and compelling urgency precludes full and open competition, and (2) delay in award of a contract would result in serious injmy, financial or other, to the Government. Here, a non-competitive contract to GSMA is the only way to avoid unacceptable delays and ensure protection of vital national security capabilities.

This contract is necessruy for the continuation of c1itical security se1vices previously rendered under contract N3220523C4141. An unusual and com ellin° need for this contract exists due to the conclusion �sor contract,

- The award o a non-competlt1ve contract to GSMA 1s essentia to prevent a cnt1ca gap in m1ss10n-essent1al se1vices.

e rum o e Government's mission an wou require SBX-1 to com mission to relieve the o • • • • • • required to conduct a full and open competition would create an unacceptable and dangerous gap in these vital security services.

The command acknowledges that other fnms may be capable of providing these se1vices under normal acquisition timelines. However, a lapse in se1vice would occur without sufficient time to develop, compete, evaluate, and awru·d a competitive contract . Such a gap in se1vice would severely dismpt critical mission activities that rely on unintenupted availability and specialized se1vices onboru·d the SBX-1 vessel. Any such delays could result in serious injmy to the Government.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Manv Offerors as Practicable.

The unusual and compelling urgency of this requirement has prevented the ability to post the proposed contract action to the Government point of entiy per FAR 5.202(a)(2) - Exceptions. However, in accordance with FAR 6.305, the approved J&A will be posted within the required 30 days after the award.

Before award of the action, the Contracting Officer will determine the rates to be fair and reasonable at the time of award.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

It is anticipated that this requirement, which is designated as a set- Program, will continue under this designation in future acquisitions.
