FAR 6.302-1

Although other vendors are available to supply MFDs with consumables and services; there is a short time period to allow installation. There is no other vendor that would be able to deliver new devices in time for a May 1, 2021 start date. The devices are in place and need to be extended on a sole source contract. Since the devices in place are under a lease, no other vendor can service the lease of another vendor without violating the lease terms. The only way to ensure uninterrupted support to the Warfighter is to issue a contract to the current vendor.

5. A description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a notice was or will be publicized as required by Subpart 5.2 and, if not, which exception under 5.202 applies:

6. A description of the market research conducted (see Part 10) and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted:

7. Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition, such as:

Explanation of why technical data packages, specifications, engineering descriptions, statements of work, or purchase descriptions suitable for full and open competition have not been developed or are not available.

When 6.302-1 is cited for follow-on acquisitions as described in 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), an estimate of the cost to the Government that would be duplicated and how the estimate was derived.

• Include a copy of the previous justification.

• The approval authority shall determine whether the planned actions were completed. If the actions were not completed, the justification for the follow-on acquisition shall be approved by the approval authority one-level above the approval authority for the previous justification (see FAR 6.304). If the previous justification was approved by the Senior Procurement Executive (SPE), the approval remains at the SPE level. DFARS PGI

206.304 (a)(s-70)(ii)

When 6.302-2 is cited, data, estimated cost, or other rationale as to the extent and nature of the harm to the Government.

8. A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition (Include the results of the request for information or the sources sought notification in accordance with DFARS PGI 206.302-1 or include the waiver from the HCA or designee):

The action will be synopsized in accordance with Subpart 5.2 and posted to beta.sam.gov.

Market research indicates that an adequate competition pool exists for requirements of this type and it will be competed on GSA PRISM. Currently, the devices that are on PRISM are being tested by NMCI labs right now. The sole source order is being put in place long enough for the devices to be tested, put on the APL and allow for devices to be delivered on a new order.

Attempting to do a short-term contract via competitive procedures would result in unacceptable delays to achieve contract award and delivery/installation of new equipment; both of which would cripple the customer. The unacceptable delays would entail removal of the 111 devices currently in place, re-competing the short term rental, and delivery of the short term rental, during which the customers would be without devices. An up to six month contract will provide adequate time for the delivery and installation of new devices.

None

9. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required:

I certify that any supporting data that is the responsibility of technical or requirements personnel and which form a basis for the justification are complete and accurate.

Technical Personnel

Approval:

The justification, as presented above, is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Additionally, I have determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
