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

In accordance with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 206.302-1, a Request for Information (RFI) was posted to SAM.gov on 11 January 2023 with a closing date of 24 January 2023. Additionally, a synopsis of this procurement was published on the SAM.Gov on 12 January 2023 with a closing date of 25 January 2023. JCNS responded to the Sources Sought posting on 25 January 2023 confirming their intention to propose once the solicitation is released. No other responses were received. No additional market research was conducted because it is not practicable, for the reasons discussed in paragraph 5 above, for any contractor other than JCNS to provide the required services.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Costs

The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NSWCPD has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NSWCPD will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.

As this is a follow-on for services previously awarded on a non-competitive basis, in accordance with DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(i), the prior J&A was provided to the approval authority for review. Approval of this J&A signifies the approval authority has made the determination required by DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(ii).
