D. Justification:

1. The justification for this non-competitive action is:

XD In accordance with FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1), "only one source [is] reasonably available" which states that, "For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. (i) 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). (ii) Where a single source is identified to provide a portion of a purchase because that portion of the purchase specifies a particular brand-name item, the documentation in paragraph (b)(1 )(i) of this section only applies to the portion of the purchase requiring brand-name item. The documentation should state it is covering only the portion of the acquisition which is brand- name."

D Urgency

D Exclusive licensing agreements/Proprietary data

D Brand name required

D Industrial mobilization

XD Other (e.g., compatibility, space issues, continuity, compatibility, etc.)

In accordance with FAR 8.405-6 "Limiting Sources" which states that, "the only circumstances that may justify the action are - (A) An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays; (B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; or (C) In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-up to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original BPA must not have been previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures."

D Urgency

Only One Source

D Logical Follow Up

D Brand name required

2. Other facts supporting sole source procurement:

a. What can this product/service do that other products/services cannot do?

ICEYE operates the world's largest, most agile SAR satellite constellation, providing global commercial data access and persistent monitoring. ICEYE gives its customers unprecedented access to accurate SAR images of any location on Earth - every few hours, day and night and in any weather. ICEYE also allows customers to task where images are taken by providing an area of interest. This level of imagery coverage, ability to capture images through clouds, power to task satellites, and timely access to derived flooding data is not available through any other vendor. Access to ICEYE flooding data will allow GRASP to support CDC and ATSDR's responses to emergency flooding events at a new level, by allowing us to visualize and analyze near real-time flooding data alongside public health data.

b. What other products/services were considered and why did they not meet the need?

The only similar vendor is Flood Mapp and they use a method that is not conducive to the types of flooding events that CDC/ ATSDR responds to. Their data rely upon stream gauge modeling and are not timely enough for emergency response purposes.

3. Program Office efforts to seek potential offerors:

Conducted internet search for vendors that offered flood extent/depth/duration data, coverage of the full country, ability to identify non-riverine flooding, near-real time access

(within 24 hours of event), and customer technical support.

E. Program Office Certification:

I have reviewed this sole source justification and certify the justification is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and adequate to support other than full and open competition.
