About this file

This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a sole source acquisition. The contracting officer, Alexis D. Potter, is justifying a $6,000.00 sole source purchase from The Chariot Group Inc. (CAGE Code 1M2C2), a Small Business Veteran Owned company based in Anchorage, Alaska. The acquisition is for the addition of a NIPR/SIPR selector and programming for existing audiovisual equipment to enable secure videoconferencing purposes in Building 49000 Room C-207. The fund type is categorized as "OTHER."

The justification for sole source procurement is based on compatibility and warranty constraints. The existing equipment is owned by the State of Alaska (an outside agency), and utilizing another vendor would breach the existing service agreement and void the existing warranty. The market research determined that no other vendors are capable of completing the requirement while maintaining compatibility with the existing automation equipment. The contracting officer notes that Chariot Group Inc. possesses reputable reviews and superior past performance on installation of existing equipment. The document indicates actions to overcome barriers to future competition through the company's track record, though the immediate requirement necessitates sole source procurement to protect the government's existing equipment investment and contractual arrangements with the State of Alaska.
