Control No: 004-21 Contractor: Inveris Training Solutions

Program/Equipment: Inveris Repair Parts for Range Control System

Version – September 2018 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI)

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

The currently installed Fort Drum Range Control System is manufactured by Inveris Training Solutions (formerly MEGGITT Training System). This brand-specific system is only compatible with the specialized Inveris repair parts. The equipment is proprietary in nature. The system and the replacement repair parts are available on GSA. It is not cost-advantageous for the Government to procure a new Target Range Control System, but instead procure the repair parts specifically for the existing equipment. In accordance with FAR 8.002(a)(1) Priorities for use of Government Supply Sources this system will be procured through GSA.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: The Contracting Office will continue to conduct market research in order to potentially identify future equals or other vendors that could provide requested products. Contracting Office can further validate future “new” range builds and the suitability for local, small business repair parts.

7. Market Research: Market research was conducted 4-8 FEB 2021. The requested repair parts are only available by one source, the current manufacturer of the existing equipment, Inveris Training Solutions. Procurement history has shown that the repair parts have been purchased and awarded directly to this company multiple times, one as recent as September 2020.

Best Value Determination/Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination:

10. I hereby determine that the order represents the best value to the Government in accordance with FAR 8.404(d)--Supplies offered on the schedule are listed at fixed prices. Services offered on the schedule are priced either at hourly rates, or at a fixed price for performance of a specific task (e.g., installation, maintenance, and repair). GSA has already determined the prices of supplies and fixed-price services, and rates for services offered at hourly rates, under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable.

Therefore, ordering activities are not required to make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, except for a price evaluation as required by 8.405-2(d). By placing an order against a schedule contract using the procedures in 8.405, the ordering activity has concluded that the order represents the best value (as defined in FAR 2.101) and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs. Although GSA has already negotiated fair and reasonable pricing, ordering activities may seek additional discounts before placing an order.

11. Contracting Officer Certification: I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
