5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Authority. The acquisition is being conducted under the procedures of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) – Soliciting from a single source. The justification rationale for restricting competition is: the Technical Services Field Office (TSFO) requires cameras for the concealed surveillance mission. The cameras are proprietary to Ancora Technologies and their only authorized reseller in the US is ShaiderTech. No other device can fulfill the agency’s current investigative and operational needs.

6. Specific characteristics of the supplies or services that limit the availability to this/these source(s), i.e., unique features, form-fit-function, etc. State why the requested material or service represents the minimum requirement(s) of the Government. Describe in detail why only this/these suggested source(s) can furnish the requirement(s) to the exclusion of other sources.

TSFO requires two versions (standard and long range) of the same lamp head concealment cameras (LHC) with standard streetlight sensor concealment with 6mm lens, water tight housing, fan free cooling, embedded header for defoc and defrost window UV stable housing, 120v/240 VAC.

Ruggedized lens with FoV of 40degrees, fixed focus low light camera module, and H.264 encoding with consistent and reliable performance.

7. Determination of fair and reasonable pricing.

Pricing will be reviewed prior to award based on price analysis techniques available per FAR 13.106(a).

8. Brief description of Market Research conducted and results or why market research was not conducted.

Initial Market Research was conducted by the Requirement Owner. The technical experts have done research and field-testing of the few lamphead cameras available in the market (LHG, LHC, Winnipeg, SCCI. etc.) and determined that the Ancora horizon cameras are the only devices that meets the Technical Services Field Office form factor, size, weight, and performance requirements.

The other cameras with concealments were found not reliable in testing.

The Contract Specialist posted a Sources Sought on SAM.gov and also contacted the OEM - Ancora Technologies - via email where the Sole Source was confirmed. The OEM stated that there are no approved resellers other than ShaiderTech in the US.

Any other factors supporting use of other than full and open ex., National Security, etc.: N/A
