MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN

ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

A. ___ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. ___ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. ___ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

Identify the OEM and explain the circumstances surrounding why the item or service is only available from the OEM.

OR

Identify the distributor(s)/authorized technical representative(s) for the item or service. Provide evidence of the exclusive licensing agreement as an attachment to this document. NOTE: If there is more than one distributor/authorized technical representative for an OEM part, then Part B, BRAND NAME SOLE SOURCE, is applicable, and Part A, ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE, should be left blank).

3. ___ OTHER REASONS. Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.

B. _X_ BRAND NAME. Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

This is replacement scaffolding from the following two contracts N68836-18-P-0315, Award date 14-May-2018 Dollar Amount $1,491,077.25, N68836-19-P-0093, Award date 03-Jan-2019, Dollar Amount $51,653.00. Scaffolding and Accessories need to be replaced due to the recent tornado that hit Kings Bay, these items were damaged and can no longer be used for safety reasons.

Items must be the same name brand for safety reasons. Non-brand specific materials could cause catastrophic failure of the scaffolding and could cause damage to personnel and government equipment.

Market research indicates that Layher’s scaffolding products are the only known type of scaffolding that provides for the technical and safety features needed. For example, it incorporates patented and built in fall protection systems while building or constructing the scaffolding that is not available from other manufacturers. Layher scaffolding also incorporates a design that is superior in containing sandblast grit material. Furthermore, it provides for lifting fixtures that enable assembled sections of scaffolding to be lifted and moved via crane. Since these are pieces of a large order that was damaged, it must be the same manufacturer in order to build the complete project.

C. ___UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY.

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:

2. Required delivery date/period of performance:

3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required: Explain the impact to the mission if the date above is not met, any special circumstances or conditions that exist which validate the requirement as “urgent,” estimated production lead time for the item, etc.

4. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.
