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

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented by FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii) which allows other than full and open competition when the supplies or services requested by an agency are available from only one responsible source.

The required items will be used by the photographer of the CTF as they set up a photography section. Brand Name items from manufacturers such as Canon, Sony, and Sandisk are required because of the proprietary items that are specifically for the Red camera that have already been purchased by the CTF. The cameras being used, both the Red and Canon cameras, are also WiFi mitigated and therefore the items also need to be compatible with this feature. The photographer has already vetted all required items and determined that they must be brand name in order to be compatible with equipment previously purchased.

In addition, Contracting recently purchased brand name photo equipment from reseller Adorama Inc. via EUGPC under FA9302-23-F-G567 for $47,531.15. The new equipment to be purchased under this purchase request must be compatible with all the items purchased under G567 to avoid not only a waste of the Government's funds, but to avoid any timeline setbacks.

The Mission Partner has a critical mission deadline to meet of about 13 October 2023 which is why it is important to ensure that all line items on quotes received during the Request for Quote (RFQ) process will match those line items listed on the SOR. Any alternative part numbers will require the Mission Partner to look into the details of the product to determine compatibility with existing equipment which will require more time and resources.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The Mission Partner reached out to three different known resellers of photo equipment to obtain Market Research quotes. Of these three resellers, two were small businesses and one was a large business. However, only one vendor stated they would be able to meet the delivery deadline of 10-13 October 2023. Contracting also posted a Sources Sought on SAM.gov to identify other potential vendors that can meet both the brand name requirements and mission critical deadline. Contracting received two responses - one from a small business and one from a large business. Both businesses stated they can provide all the products and meet the mission critical deadline of 10 October 2023. However, as only one small business responded to the Sources Sought posting stating they can meet all the requirements, Contracting will proceed with a Brand Name competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) on SAM.gov to ensure that all vendors capable of meeting the delivery deadline can submit a quote.
