Sole Source Justification 515-19-101 DDC Systems_Redacted.pdf

This justification is for why no other vendor anywhere can supply your item or service and still meet your needs. Your rationale for barring other vendors is crucial to your justification. If you already cited the statutory reason for a sole source, state, “See paragraph 7”. If your rationale for a sole source purchase was determined locally, offer an explanation of the source selection process you went through to determine your sole source requirement. Unacceptable reasons include (but are not limited to) personal taste, good relationship with existing vendor, or one’s comfort level with a particular vendor.

Describe the similarities and differences in vendors for the product that you are aware of that could assist or prevent the purchaser from obtaining the best value for you. Be sure to name the vendors. This section will help the purchaser decide which vendors are available to purchase this item from.

10. LISTING OF SOURCES EXPRESSING INTEREST IN THIS REQUIREMENT: N/A

Enter or attach contact information for sources you cited in the description of your source selection. If sole source by statute, regulation, or standard, list contact information for that source here.

11. FUTURE ACTION TO OVERCOME BARRIER TO OTFOC: Continued sole source use of Automated Logic Corporation’s DDC systems for all facility HCAC control requirements.

This section fulfills the legal requirement to affirm that the selection of a singular source for this requirement is an anomaly and that action will be taken in the future to ensure full competition in the future. The reason this is needed is to describe how the government will make an effort in the future to fully comply with standard acquisition practices and not resort to creating unnecessary partnerships with few vendors at the risk barring full competition to circumvent the FAR. By signing this, you are telling the contracting officer to avoid the processes that assure best value and fairness in this acquisition. If the reason for sole source purchase is because of statute, standard, or regulation, enter “THE SOURCE FOR THIS PURCHASE IS REQUIRED IAW [cite the standard here].
