2. Regulatory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition. FBO

FAR 13.106-1(b)(i) Soliciting from a single source

FAR 13.106-1(b)(ii) Particular brand-name item

GSA

FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(1)(A) An urgent and compelling need exists

FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(1)(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

2 | 7

FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(1)(C) In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on 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 order or BPA must not have been previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures).

FAR 8.405-6 (b) Items peculiar to one manufacturer (brand-name item) ID/IQ Task Order/Delivery Order (e.g. NASA SEWP or ARMY CHESS)

FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A) The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays.

FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized

FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. [When utilizing this exception, the rationale shall describe why the relationship between the initial order and the follow-on is logical (e.g., in terms of scope, period of performance, or value).]

FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(D) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

3. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Regulatory Authority.

a.) The Items Described in Paragraph 1 Must Be Compatible In All Aspects

(Form, Fit And Function) With Existing Systems Presently Installed.

b.) A Patent, Copyright, or Proprietary Data Limits Competition.

c.)The Items Described in Paragraph 1 are “Direct Replacements”

Parts/Components for Existing Equipment.

d.) Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Supported By A Case Letter.

e.) Unusual and Compelling Urgency.

f.) Other: If required, discuss any other rationale that supports the use of a brand name/sole source for this effort.

The Masterclock Network Clocks are currently RS10 standard when it comes to implementing networking systems. RS10 has 40-50 engineers fully trained in how to configure, operate, and maintain the clock network. Procuring a different brand will

3 | 7 require RS10 to train these engineers on a new platform and it will delay project advancement. For instance, it takes about 400 hours and ultimately about $62,500 to train an engineer on a new platform.

Multiple rounds of solicitations were conducted using a Brand Name justification. No valid responses were returned from authorized distributors.

4. Implication of Procuring another Brand/Manufacturer.

a.) Unacceptable Delays in Fulfilling the Agency’s Requirements.

b.)Substantial Duplication Of Cost To The Government That Is Not Expected

To Be Recovered Through Competition.

c.) Other: If required, discuss any other implication of procuring another brand/manufacturer.

No other brands were investigated, as this particular brand is the only one that offers the features mentioned above. Multiple rounds of solicitations were conducted using a Brand Name justification. No valid responses were returned from authorized distributors.

5. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition.

For the reason set forth in sections three and four, NSWCCO has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NSWCCO will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
