MEMORANDUM

Subj: SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION FOR ADT BRAND ETHERNET APPLIANCES (Purchase Request TBD)

1. Identification of the agency and the contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Sole Source Justification.”

This is a sole source justification. Contracting activity is NSWC-PCD, Code 024, 110 Vernon Ave., Panama City, FL, 32407.

2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved.

This action will award a firm fixed price purchase order to Alta Data Technologies LLC, (CAGE Code 4RK27), 4901 Rockaway Blvd. NE Ste. A, Rio Rancho, NM, 87124-4503.

3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency’s needs (including the estimated).

Description Part Number Quantity Unit Price Extended Price

Ethernet appliances with one channel of dual redundant MIL-STD-1553

ENET2-1553-1D-E 34 $4,193.20 $142,568.80

Shipping N/A 1 $300.00

This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total estimated value of $142,868.80. The Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. This purchase will be funded with FY19 OPN funds.

4. Identification of the justification rationale 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), 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B). Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B).

The items being purchased are part of the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP). These parts are part of a build to print data package whose assembly will be provided as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to an Alteration/Installation Team (AIT) for integration with SBC4 installation kits. The Ethernet appliances being purchased are commercial items manufactured by

Alta Data Technologies as part of the end item assembly. Developing another source would be expensive as there would be significant reoccurring engineering and testing costs (environmental) and time associated with the effort estimated at $150,000 adding additional twelve-month lead time.

As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does expects significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement. Therefore, it is in the Governments’ best interest to award on a sole source basis to Alta Data Technologies LLC.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b).

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.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, Alta Data Technologies LLC is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry fbo.gov.

7. Any other facts supporting the justification.

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.

As stated in paragraph 4 above, Alta Data Technologies LLC is the only source that can meet this requirement.
