paragraph 3 above, supporting Operational requirements, the RESET program and other ARMY priorities in accordance with the Sustainment Readiness Model (SRM). A summary of the rationale for urgency follows:

a. U.S. Army troops are on heightened alert and in sustained combat, deployed to Afghanistan as part of ongoing Overseas Contingency Operations (OCOs). U.S. forces in combat zones, with the associated increase in mission readiness, have adopted an operational tempo for use, maintenance, and repair of deployed/deploying ground systems, water craft, water and petroleum systems, armament, small arms, and other TACOM-managed equipment, in excess of normal peacetime requirements.

Requisitions for spare and repair parts and other supply items from this theater of operation are designated as urgent, and must be filled immediately to maintain readiness.

b. 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 (TM – 10/20 standards) 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.

(1) 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, Operational Requirements, RESET requirements and other ARMY priorities in accordance with the SRM consist of both immediate needs and sustainment that exceeds existing assets. OEF and SRM requirements are the added quantity to support the density of systems fielded, deployed, or identified to deploy in the operation for up to one year, due to increased operational tempo and environmental factors, which could not be procured to support theater operations in a timely manner under normal acquisition procedures. 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 OEF, reset and other ARMY priorities in accordance with the SRM 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, the OEF, reset and SRM requirements will include such added requirements, since they stemmed from OEF drawdown. 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. Operational Requirements, RESET, and other priorities in accordance with the SRM 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, lives, or combat effectiveness that might compromise combat mission success. Thus, all requisitions supporting Operational Requirements, RESET and other SRM priorities 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 OEF, reset and other priorities in accordance with the SRM 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 PRONs are distinguished from other PRs via the following factors:

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

(2) The phrase “Expedite IAW ILSC Class SOU” in the “Available for Local

Procurement Use” area of the PWD;

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

h. RESET and urgent requirements based on the SRM 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 and other priorities according to the SRM, 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.

b. Optex is the only practicable source for providing this item. U.S. Government does not own or have rights to technical data for the cell assembly, part number 12986122 which is a component of the Collimator, Infinity. Optex is an approved source for this component. A recent competitive procurement for the Collimator Infinity led the Government to realize that the new competitive drawings for the cell assembly were inadequate for a competitive procurement. While these drawings are being reviewed and revised, there is still a need for the complete Collimator, Infinity assembly.

c. The Urgent requirement of 267 each represents the bare minimum quantity required to fill urgent backorders for RESET and SRM requirements.

d. Reset requirements were determined to be zero at this time.

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 and other SRM based requirements, as outlined in Paragraph 5, we have done limited market research to confirm that the identified source(s) 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.

Approval Authority for Acquisitions Equal to or Greater Than $700,000.
