D. Justification:

Rev. 5/14/19

1. The justification for this non-competitive action is:

In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), “only one source [is] reasonably available” which states that, “For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. (i) Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). (ii) Where a single source is identified to provide a portion of a purchase because that portion of the purchase specifies a particular brand-name item, the documentation in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section only applies to the portion of the purchase requiring brand-name item. The documentation should state it is covering only the portion of the acquisition which is brand- name.”

Urgency Exclusive licensing agreements/Proprietary data Brand name required Industrial mobilization Other (e.g., compatibility, space issues, continuity, compatibility, etc.)

In accordance with FAR 8.405-6 “Limiting Sources” which states that, “the only circumstances that may justify the action are – (A) An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays; (B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; or (C) In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-up to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original BPA must not have been previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.”

Urgency Only One Source Logical Follow Up Brand name required

2. Other facts supporting sole source procurement:

a. What can this product/service do that other products/services cannot do?

The control system (Jaguar from Spectral Dynamics) for the 3D hand-arm vibration shaker was installed and integrated with our unique 3D shaker in 2005. The controller is delicate instrumentation and must be operated to tight constraints and must be insured.

b. What other products/services were considered and why did they not meet the need?

None. This is the only shaker of its kind and Jaguar software from Spectral Dynamics was integrated into the system when it was installed.

It has controlled it very well since but must be insured by maintenance.

Spectral Dynamics is the only company authorized to maintain their own systems.

3. Program Office efforts to seek potential offerors:

Rev. 5/14/19

None – The 3D shaker is the only one of its kind in the world and requires this software and hardware controller to run. Spectral Dynamics is the only company authorized to provide maintenance.

E. Program Office Certification:

I have reviewed this sole source justification and certify the justification is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and adequate to support other than full and open competition.
