4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

The task orders providing land-based UAS ISR Services were competitively awarded on the following award dates and with services extending through the subsequent end dates:

N00019-21-G-0008-N0001922F1175 Textron: 20 DEC 2021 – 23

MAR 2025

N00019-21-G-0008-N0001921F0850 Textron: 01 JULY 2021 – 30

SEP 2024

N00019-21-G-0007-N0001921F0854 Insitu: 26 JUNE 2021 –

18 OCT 2024

N00019-21-G-0008-N0001921F0315 Textron: 17 MAY

2021 – 30 JUN 2024

In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), procurement of the services required by the agency from a source other than Textron or Insitu would result in substantial schedule impacts and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the DoD’s requirement.

If a company other than Textron or Insitu provided engineering services for the integration, testing and installation of a GPS Anti-Jam payload capability at their respective sites, the current task orders providing the land-based services would need to be re-competed. The acquisition cycle time required to compete a new task order for ISR Services that includes the GPS Anti-Jam payload capability would result in a minimum break in service of 120 days. Additionally, based on historical data, a new contracting effort would drive a duplication of cost over per task order, totaling roughly for this effort. These modifications are in response to operational necessity at It is imperative that interruption of ISR Services for are avoided, as it would endanger the warfighter, non-combatants and the overall mission. Only Textron and Insitu are in a position to provide uninterrupted service.

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

In accordance with FAR 5.202(a)(11), a synopsis is not required when the contract action is made under the terms of an existing contract that was previously synopsized in sufficient detail to comply with the requirements of 5.207 with respect to the current proposed contract actions. Sources Sought Waiver Ser. 243-21-001 applies to these efforts.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

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

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

To the greatest extent possible, UAS ISR services are awarded on a competitive basis. However, for the reasons stated above, the current requirement for GPS Anti-Jam payload integration for presents unique challenges which presently preclude competition. Future requirements for UAS ISR Services which fall within the authority of Limited Source Class J&A

21_0013 will be competed among capable vendors. In an effort to encourage competition of its future requirements, PMA-263 conducts continuous market research. If another potential source emerges, the Naval Air Systems Command will assess the possibility for competition of future requirements.
