Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

November 2018 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Page 2 of 2

29 May 2020 in order to allow for responsible sources to submit clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. The posting remained open for 15 calendar days with no responses received. A survey of the market for similar items was conducted during market research that yielded other companies that are able to provide similar inventory tracking systems, however the cost to the Government to take out what is currently in place at the Armory and replace it with an entirely new system would greatly outweigh what is being asked for in this requirement. The Government is unable to compete this requirement because Soaring Software Solutions Inc. is the sole source for their TCMax software, scanners, signature panels, label printers, along with site training and installation of software. This system is the only system currently in place at the 341 MSOS used for automated tracking to provide 100% accountability for all weapons, equipment, and munitions stored in the Armory.

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

There are no steps to preclude future single source of this acquisition due to the fact that Soaring Software Solutions Inc. is the sole source for their TC Max software, scanners, signature panels, label printers, along with site training and installation of the software.

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.
