4. Identification of the justification rationale (see FAR 8.405-6(a) and (b)) and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service.

10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City

Division (NSWC PCD) 3D Laser Scanning and Model Development (3DLS&MD) team requires a laser scanning system with dynamic referencing capability which can operate in direct sunlight. The NDI ScanTrak system is the only dynamic referencing system on the market which uses active LED technology, allowing it to be used in direct sunlight.

Code E34 has had demonstrations of other scanners with dynamic referencing capability but they were not capable of operating in direct sunlight. Additionally, the NDI had the lightest interface. After scanning with these hand held scanners for extended periods of time they cause fatigue on the hand, arm, and shoulder during data collection. By having the lightest hand held scanner, the NDI will allow the user to capture more data quickly, minimizing the need for resting periods.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 8.404(d).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

This requirement will be synopsized on FEDBIZOPPS per FAR 5.2. No additional market research was conducted because it is not practicable, for the reasons discussed in paragraph 4 above, only the brand specified will meet the requirement.

None

8. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made.
