Authority to limit sources to less than those required by FAR 8.405-1 and 8.405-2 is found at FAR 8.405-6. Justification for limiting sources is as follows (CHECK ONE):

(a) D Only one source is capable of responding due to the unique or specialized nature of the work;

OR

(b) [ZJ The new work is a logical follow-on to an existing order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with FAR 8.405-1 or 8.405-2 (excluding orders placed previ_2u~ und~r sole source requirements); OR ~-z.e;o 01= 8(2..\oq& eoN~ tttf1l.<)\/5[)

(c) D The item is peculiar to one manufacturer. (A brand name item, availabie on various schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer; see note below); OR

(d) D An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays.

Note to item (c) above: When restricting consideration to an item peculiar to one manufacturer (e.g., a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer), an ordering activity must justifY its action.

Brand name specifications shall not be used unless the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government 's requirements and market research indicates other companies 'similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet or cannot be modified to meet the agency's need.

4. Description of the item or service required, statement that the requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government, the estimated cost, and required delivery date or performance period.

(a) Description:

SAIC will provide support to the Hydrographic Department (NP4) of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), consisting of an effort to analyze, evaluate, and process NAVOCEANO bathymetric and hydrographic survey datasets. Work under this order will consist of using Survey Analysis and area-Based Editor (SABER) software to process and edit multibeam sonar data collected by T-AGS platforms using Integrated Survey System 60 {ISS60). This effort includes data evaluation, manipulation, augmentation, validation, and Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) production.

Requested service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

(b) Estimated cost (total value, base plus options): Base $367,000.00 Options $0.00

(c) Required delivery or start date: September 17, 2013

5. Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to this/these source(s) (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

(a) Detailed description as to why only the identified source/sources can furnish the stated requirements, to the exclusion of other sources:

Work under this order requires expert knowledge of SABER software to evaluate, process, edit, validate multi beam data collected by T-AGS platforms using Integrated Survey System 60 (ISS60) and to generate Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) products from the full resolution datasets. The BAGs received from SAIC will serve as the source layer for all future NP4 production efforts.

SAIC has developed and currently maintains ISS60 data acquisition software as well as SABER post-processing software. Their workforce is fluent in all aspects of the hydrographic/bathymetric survey and data processing environments which include collection, data management, pre-processing and verification, data editing and analysis, as well as BAG production. The use of ISS60 and SABER software tools to diagnose and resolve complicated issues, as described in the associated effort, requires a specialized workforce. In order to meet NP4 requirements, this effort should be awarded as sole source at this time. This effort will be competed in the future on GSA e-buy among any additional qualified GSA Vendors.

(b) Description of market research conducted among the GSA FSS contract holders, including the results, or a statement as to the reason no market research was conducted:

No additional market research was conducted. The decision was based on satisfactory work conducted by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) under contract with SPA WAR System Center Charleston (N65236-07-D-6868,T0-0226, T0-0378, T0-0645 and T0-0772) and NAVOCEANO order numbers N62306-12-F-1 S09 and N62306-13-F-4S01.

As stated previously, this effort will be competed in the future on GSA e-buy among any additional qualified GSA Vendors.
