4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only One responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2), Unusual and compelling urgency.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3), Industrial mobilization; engineering, developmental, or research capability; or expert services.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(4), International agreement.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(6), National Security.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(7), Public Interest.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Authority.

The acquisition is being conducted under the procedures of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) – Soliciting from a single source. The justification rationale for restricting competition is that this requirement can only be fulfilled by a single source. Restricting competition is necessary because only Comcast Cable Communications, LLC (Xfinity) can provide these services in both required areas of responsibility— specifically, at the Hangar facility in Manassas, VA, and within the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) environments at the NCIS Washington Field Office.

6. Specific characteristics of the supplies or services that limit the availability to this/these source(s), i.e., unique features, form-fit-function, etc.). State why the requested material or service represents the minimum requirement(s) of the Government. Describe in detail why only this/these suggested source(s) can furnish the requirement(s) to the exclusion of other sources.

The required services include Cable TV, Voice, and Commercial Internet. These services and associated equipment are installed within SCIFs at NCIS facilities and must comply with all SCIF security standards. Additionally, only one cable provider is authorized to operate within the designated zones and regions. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC (Xfinity) is the sole provider authorized to deliver Cable TV, Voice, and Internet services at the JBAB and Manassas Hangar locations. All required equipment is already installed in these facilities. This contract is intended to maintain existing services, as no other provider is authorized or capable of supporting NCIS operations in these areas.

7. Determination of fair and reasonable pricing.

Pricing will be reviewed prior to award based on price analysis techniques available per FAR 13.106(a).

8. Brief description of Market Research conducted and results or why market research was not conducted.

The requiring office conducted market research and determined that Comcast is the only vendor capable of providing the required services at the NCIS Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) and Manassas Hangar locations. Additionally, the contracting office performed independent market research through online searches and by reviewing both mandatory and preferred government-wide acquisition sources, including AbilityOne, UNICOR, DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI), GSA eBuy, and NASA SEWP. No suitable alternative sources were identified.

11. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required.

A market review for similar products or services will be conducted on any future procurements to ensure there are opportunities to maximize competition or to reassess the mission needs with the best solution for the Government.
