The items listed in the table below include both Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant and non- TAA compliant items. The non-TAA compliant items are included on the justification because was unable to add them to their 2GIT BPA price list in this fiscal year. The remaining items are non-TAA compliant and therefore must be procured via the open market due to GSA’s TAA compliance requirement for all MAS products. The equipment must be brand new in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) packing shipped from an authorized federal reseller for each of the brand name items required. The use of standardized AV hardware brands plays a crucial role in ensuring operational efficiency, consistency, and overall effectiveness. Using the same AV hardware brand ensures a consistent user experience across all locations.

Standardized hardware means that once an employee is trained on the system at one location, they can easily support the same system at any other location. This reduces the time and effort required for additional training, the organization can develop a single, comprehensive training program. This is more efficient and cost-effective compared to creating multiple training modules for different hardware. The AV team can specialize in troubleshooting specific hardware, making it easier and faster to resolve issues. This also means that support resources (manuals, guides, troubleshooting steps) can be standardized. Standardizing ensures that the chosen hardware is reliable and compatible with the organization's existing infrastructure. This minimizes the risk of integration issues and incompatibilities that could arise from using different brands and reduces the likelihood of system failures and downtime. Lastly, standardizing on a particular brand allows for coordinated and streamlined upgrade paths. New features and improvements can be rolled out uniformly, ensuring that all locations benefit from the latest technology advancements. Different hardware brands may not integrate seamlessly with existing systems, causing potential compatibility issues and operational disruptions. In conclusion, standardizing AV hardware across all locations in an organization is crucial for maintaining consistency, simplifying training and support, achieving cost savings, and ensuring reliable and efficient operations. The equipment needed to meet the government's requirements can be found in the equipment list below.

The USAF 363rd ISR Wing has provided adequate funding by MIPR to GSA for obligation against the PO.

Shipping and handling terms are F.O. B. Destination. Inspection and acceptance shall be at a CONUS location.

Period of Performance/Delivery for this PO will consist of 120 days ARO.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF THE STATUTORY AUTHORITY AND SUPPORTING RATIONALE:

The statutory authority for applying the FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services is 41 U.S.C. § 1901 and the authority for restricting competition on this procurement is implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(2). No other like and/or similar products will meet the needs of the Government.

For purchases exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, the requirements at FAR 13.501(a) apply. The need for a sole source requirement is justified in writing utilizing the format at FAR 6.303- 2 properly modified to reflect that the procedures at FAR 13.5 were used in accordance with 41U.S.C. 1901. This justification will be approved at the levels specified in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(2)(ii) and posted to SAM.gov within fourteen (14) days of contract award in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(1)(iii).

For administrative convenience, an ordering activity Contracting Officer may add items not on the Federal Supply Schedule (also referred to as open-market items) to a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) task order under FAR 8.402(f) only if all applicable regulations are followed, the price is determined fair and reasonable, items are labeled as open market on the order, and all applicable clauses are included on the order.

Per FAR 8.402(f), it is the responsibility of the Contracting Officer to ensure that the applicable acquisition regulations for open-market items are followed, the price is fair and reasonable, items are labeled as open-market on the order, and applicable clauses are used:

Applicable acquisition regulations pertaining to the purchase of open-market items were followed (e.g., publicizing (Part 5), competition requirements (Part 6), acquisition of commercial items (Part 12), contracting methods (Parts 13, 14, and 15) and small business programs (Part 19)).

a) FAR Part 5 – The exception listed at 5.202(a)(11) applies. The open market items that are being added for administrative convenience are within the scope of items already awarded on Parker System’s MAS contract # 47QSWA19D0019 and are required to provide a total solution.
