Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

D Yes Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan?

Contracting Activity: 28 CONS/PKA

Project/Program Name: 28th OSS,_ Ultra 16 Server

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1V1 B20220AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $128,396.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This requirement is for the acquisition of a Server in support of 28th OSS.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

�ltipoint, interoperable protocols, and -- Ultra 16 Server is a proprietary design of Ultra Electronics to which they maintain rights to the hardware design and sub-assembled ADSI system within the server. The ADSI software is composed of a number of software modules and ADSl-related applications that were developed at private expense. Those modules/applications are enhanced and maintained using private funding. In accordance with the clause at DFARS 252.227-7014, as provided in FA8574-18-D-0006, these modules and applications are segregated from government or mixed funding when being developed or enhanced. Therefore, Ultra maintains Restricted Rights to these modules/applications and no other contractor has these capabilities. Furthermore, market research has determined that the Ultra 16 server is the only one that meets the requirements of the existing Authority To Operate as provided by the AF SPO office.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Due to the restricted rights that the vendor retains for both the hardware and software of the■ Server, there is no competition that can provide the requirement to the listed standards.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Until such a time that Ultra Electronics makes an agreement with the government or a distributor to sell or delegate hardware and software rights they will continue to be the sole source for this requirement.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1 ), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
