c. What is the total estimated cost of this/these products or services?

$91, 095. 00 (estimate is based on a proposal/quotation received from Power Pro Plus, a small business, electrical contractor that pe1formed a similar installation at SSC PAC in 2017).

3) Possible Authority for Non-Competitive Procurement (If you check block 3a.

below, complete associated table marked 3(a), If you check block3(b) below, complete associated table marked 3(b):

a. D Sole/Limited Source Procurement (Only One Responsible/Capable Source). Is there only one responsible/capable source that can provide the supply or service due to unique/highly specialized requirements, urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, industrial mobilization or the new work is a logical follow-on? Non-competitive procedures can typically only be used when there is one source able to meet the Government's minimum requirements (e.g., the manufacturer is the sole distributor/reseller of the product or service). If only one source can meet the Government's requirements, complete table 3(a) below and provide a complete and thorough discussion of how you are aware that only one source exists in paragraph 4 below.

b. l2SI Brand Name Requirement (Item Peculiar to One Manufacturer). Is the requirement peculiar to a single brand name or one manufacturer? Competition can be limited to companies that are capable of providing the specific brand name, product or feature required when it is essential to purchase a specific brand because it is the ONLY brand that has the ability to meet the Government's minimum requirements (e.g., while there is one manufacturer, multiple distributors/resellers exist for the product or service). If so complete Table 3(b) below.

4) Describe the Market Research conducted.

You must provide sufficient nanative explaining your research, date performed, and how you are ce1iain no other products exist that meet your requirements, or how you are certain that similar products are inadequate that meet your requirement. Market research is not a substitute for competition and requirements should be well-established prior to seeking use of non-competitive procedures. If your requirement is supported by an official document (e.g., a Program of Record) that mandates specific Brand Name materials that cannot be substituted, you must reference the document in sufficient detail to allow the reviewer to obtain the document; your notation must identify any applicable document number, date, paragraph/table or other identifying location, the issuing and approving authority. Attaching a copy of the applicable document provides the best suppoti, and ifthe document is lengthy, provide copies of the applicable pages reflective of the mandated items, the title page (or equivalent), and approval page. In addition, you must explain the impact of using an "alternate or equal" item, in order to justify why market research was not conducted.

Use the table below (or attach a similar table) to supplement your narrative. Provide a comparison of your required item to any similar products or services that do not meet all of the criteria listed in table 3(a) or 3(b) above. If the product/service is truly unique and no other similar items exist, list only your product/service and check each box showing that it meets all minimum criteria listed in table 3 (a) or 3 (b ). In the first row you will list each of your Critical Attributes/Minimum Characteristics from the Table in 3(a)/(b) above. Then, in the first column you will list each company/manufacturer and the brand/model of the product you reviewed. Finally, in the columns adjacent to the company/brand listed, you will indicate whether it "Met" or "Did Not Meet" the required characteristic. DO NOT LEA VE TABLE 4 BLANK.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2018 market research was conducted to identify mamifacturers of overhead power distribution systems and to determine if their product(s), in particular control boxes, plug-in modules, and power bus bars, were compatible with the Star Line Track Busway I 00/225A configuration (mamifactured by Universal Electric Corporation [UECORP]). The research included consultation with

4 Template July 2018 product representatives from various electrical system vendors as well as SSC PAC electrical engineers to identifY potential products that could be integrated into an existing Star Line configuration. Multiple evaluations of potential products were also attempted in small, isolated experiments where near-equivalent components/products were introduced to the existing power distribution system. In each instance, the alternate/near equivalent manufacturer's product could not be physically connected to the existing configuration, would connect but failed to function, or resulted in findings that indicated additional changes would have to be implemented in the physical configuration of the existing power distribution system. The research resulted in no other large or small businesses that manufacture products that are fully compatible and meet an acceptable "substitution" attribute (an item or part that can be substituted for an original manufacturer item or part with no loss in function or capability), or that can be fidly integrated into the Star Line Track Busway configuration that is already online at SSC PAC in Building 642 and represents a majorfinancial investment on behalf ofSPAWAR, PEO C4I, and SSC PAC. Options to conduct additional compatibility and performance evaluations on alternative/near-equivalent components requires resources (fimding, material, time, and personnel) that are not available.

5) List any other information or facts supporting the justification to limit competition not described elsewhere on this form (e.g., international agreement).

If you do not have any additional information to add, simply write "NI A."

SSC Pacific SSC Pacific, Code 53 market research confirmed that the Star Line product line is available for purchase from authorized material-only resellers as well as electrical contractors that perform general/various electrical system installations. The material and installation service listed in Section 2) a. above were captured from a site proposal/Statement of Work (SOJf) for Building 642 that was receivedfi·om Power Pro Plus, a small business, electrical contractor that completed a Star Line Track Busway installation at SSC PAC in Building 600.

6) Provide a statement of actions that will be taken to remove or overcome any barriers to competition prior to any future procurements for this Supply or Service (there is an ongoing dutv to remove the elements of a justification that unduly restrict competition thereby allowing for competition of this requirement in the future).

This material and installation service is expected to be a one-time procurement for Building 642. SSC Pacific Code 53 does not expect that another major procurement will be required, however; the code will monitor the market via the web, trades how attendance, and via on-site product demonstration opportunities to identijj; additional options for and/or alternatives for expanding, repairing, and/or replacing the Star Line Track Bus;vay configuration. Should a need develop for additional acquisitions, all other alternatives and competitive sources will be considered.
