7. Authority Permitting a Sole Source Acquisition: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)—Contracting Officers (COs) may solicit from one source if the CO determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.

Check the appropriate authority from the list below:

X Only one responsible source;

☐Brand-name specification;

☐Unusual and compelling urgency;

☐Industrial mobilization, engineering, developmental or research capability, exclusive licensing agreement, or expert services.

8. Describe why only one source can perform the required work.

The COPI software is currently used to apply a PDF417 2D Barcode on IMF notices composed by the Notice Conversion (NOTCON) system. Fifty eight (58) of these notices currently have the SSN masked (approximately 26.6M annual volume) and the only way to identify the taxpayer is through the 2D barcode. There would be a significant delay in working the taxpayer inquiries and providing responses timely without the use of the 2D Barcode. After reviewing all of the requirements for the barcode, the software selected, which met all of our requirements was owned by COPI.

9. Describe the informal market survey and the results, or state why a market survey was not conducted.

Only one source capable of provided service.
