MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: DETERMINATION THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY

AVAILABLE FOR A FAR PART 12 ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED

ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 12.102(a) states for acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), document the decision that only one source is available and the basis for the decision.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Marine Corps Installations – East (MCI-East) Brig requires the G-Wave Indoor Dual Band UHF BDA. The purpose of the requirement is to restore reliable portable radio coverage throughout the Regional Brig and allow facility personnel to operate on the installation’s current trunked radio system.

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.

3. ___ OTHER REASONS.

B. _X_ BRAND NAME

Item required must be a brand name, product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer. The G-Wave Indoor Dual Band UHF BDA is the only equipment capable of seamless integration with the active system. A "brand name or equal" description cannot be utilized because alternate brands are technically incapable of integrating with the current legacy system. However, robust competition will still be maintained. Market research indicates that multiple authorized resellers and vendor channels are capable of providing the G-Wave brand equipment, ensuring the government receives competitive pricing through a brand-name-only commercial competition.
