4. Authority Cited: The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2), as implemented by FAR 6.302-2, "Unusual and Compelling Urgency."

5. Reason for Authority Cited: TACOM Life Cycle Management Command’s (LCMC’s) Director, Integrated Logistics Support Center (ILSC), approved a Class Statement of Urgency on 8 Jun 2012 for requirements, such as those described in paragraph 3 above, supporting RESET. A summary of the rationale for urgency follows:

a. Headquarters, Department of Army (HQDA) Operational Order (OPORD) 04-01, dated November 24, 2003, cites the necessity for the Army to RESET/reconstitute units to meet global commitments and contingencies. This is to ensure worldwide troop readiness for expeditious redeployment in current and future operations. The RESET repair program restores TACOM-managed equipment returning from Southwest Asia to pre-combat operational capability, to have units returned, in a short timeframe, to combat condition prior to re-deployment. RESET places demands on the Sustainment (wholesale) supply system for necessary parts to begin repairs when equipment arrives.

Since TACOM-managed equipment repaired under RESET is likely to re-deploy in the near future, the expediency of this effort is critical to the success of OCOs.

b. The OPORD states, “For deployed unit equipment requiring further repair upon return to home station, all repair sources will be considered to bring equipment to TM- 10/20 standards, such as field units, contract maintenance, aviation OLR sites, National Guard facilities, organic industrial base, depots and arsenals, and the private industrial base." With such a range of repair sites/facilities and the anticipated workload, any disruptions in the supply pipeline for critical repair parts/components will adversely impact unit RESET efforts.

c. For the purpose of this Class Statement of Urgency and RESET requirements consist of both immediate needs and sustainment that exceeds existing assets. RESET sustainment requirements are the added quantity to support repairs of equipment returning from Southwest Asia which could not be procured to support repair operations in a timely manner under normal acquisition procedures.

d. Diverting existing assets to support RESET can result in further urgent requirements in worldwide theaters of operation other than Afghanistan, causing non-mission capable systems or line stopper situations for on-going repairs. When this happens, RESET requirement will include such added requirements. These other worldwide urgent requirements will consist of priority 01-03 demands for backorders and anticipated requirements, that the wholesale system cannot satisfy through normal acquisition procedures, which could result in deadlined weapons/systems, reduced readiness, and impact unit RESET timelines and/or line stoppers.

e. RESET purchase requests (PRs) will be issued if, and only if, the required items to execute and sustain the operation are not available in the Defense wholesale supply system.

(1) Failure to execute such requirements as quickly as possible will reduce the ability of TACOM-managed weapons/systems to perform their intended missions in a potential combat area. We cannot tolerate the resulting increase in the risk of damage to and loss of American property or combat effectiveness that might compromise combat mission success. Thus, all requisitions supporting RESET have the utmost urgency, and must be expedited at every stage of the requirement generation and contract award processes.

(2) Failure to provide forecasted sustainment for RESET will directly result in deadlined weapons/systems and reduced readiness, and imposes a direct threat to continued support of operations. There are no assets on hand for sustainment, and RESET. There is no LTC in place for sustainment. All quantities are in support UMR, FMR, RESET. All previous buys were dollar limited and were short term fixes for UMR support. It is also necessary to immediately supply the other worldwide urgent requirements as the units involved may deploy in the future and are required to maintain readiness for potential threats that may arise in other areas of the world.

f. RESET PRs are distinguished from other PRs via the following factors:

(1) Processing Priority (PPRI) 01 or 02;

(2) The phrase RESET– Expedite IAW ILSC Class SOU” in the “Available for Local Procurement Use” area of the PWD.

g. To expedite processing of RESET PRs, the contracting center should use this Class Statement of Urgency for all such PRs in lieu of requesting individual Statements of Urgency on an item-by-item basis. The Director, TACOM ILSC, certifies that all PRs issued by ILSC bearing RESET designators identified in paragraph 5f above, fall under the Class Statement of Urgency and may be processed accordingly.

h. RESET urgent requirements have been calculated and identified in the attached worksheet for this urgent noncompetitive procurement.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition:

a. Consistent with the urgency of RESET, we will seek competition to the maximum extent practicable. We intend to solicit responsible past or present producers of the item rather than synopsize this procurement in Federal Business Opportunities, to avoid the delay of synopsis publication. The contract file will contain a justification for non-synopsis.

a. The Urgent requirement, qty 309 will be used for RESET requirements.

b. RESET requirements were identified by using actual RESET forecasts submitted during the POM FY15-19 OPS 29 process.

c. Sustainment requirements were calculated by extrapolating a conservative estimate from the end item, Tension Device, Trac (NSN) 2530-01-345-8888, average monthly demand (AMD) 14, for a period of 6 months to accommodate ALT, FAT, and initial delivery, estimated to take place in June 2017 under a new long term contract

(SPRDL1-16-0032).

7. Actions to Increase Competition: As this acquisition is being made under the condition of “Unusual and Compelling Urgency,” we will not take specific actions to increase competition. As stated above, we will seek competition on a limited source basis consistent with the overriding need for an expeditious contract award and performance.

8. Market Research: Due to the urgent nature of RESET requirements, as outlined in Paragraph 5, we have done limited market research to confirm that the identified sources can best meet the Government’s needs.

9. Interested Sources: To date, no other sources have written to express an interest in this procurement. As we will not synopsize the requirement, per the exception at FAR 5.202(a)(2), we don’t anticipate additional interested sources.

10. Other Facts: Urgency buy is one-time buy only; no option.

11. Technical Certification: Not Applicable.

12. Requirements Certification: I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance which are included in this document are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

13. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination: I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government for this contract action will be fair and reasonable.

Based on previous contracts, pricing should remain fair and reasonable to include any inflation factors. In addition, a new contract price could change due to increase in quantities being purchased. This procurement is excepted from the certified cost or pricing data requirement per anticipated adequate price competition (FAR 15.403- 1(c)(1). However, other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to establish a fair and reasonable price.
