JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. CONTRACTING AGENCY: U.S. Army Engineer District, Alaska, Contracting Division, P.O. Box 6898, JBER, Alaska 99506-0898.

2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION: This is a Limited Sources Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition to include a sole source CORCOM ESA/Filter assembly in solicitation W911KB- 21-R-0004 for the FTG 233 Fort Greely Alternate Communications Center (FGACC) Facility on Fort Greely, Alaska. The solicitation will be a competitive Request for Proposal resulting in a new firm-fixed price construction contract to be awarded with FY21 MILCON funds.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES: This Limited Sources Justification is for the inclusion of a brand name specification for the ETS Lindgren/Filter Assemblies models HEMP-3030R, HEMP-3100R and HEMP-2010R in the solicitation and resultant contract for the FTG233 FGACC at Fort Greely. Verification Level Testing results are classified and can be more stringent than industry acceptance test requirements that equipment is currently constructed to meet. The Missile Defense Agency has tested these HEMP Filters and they have performed well and have passed Verification Level Testing. Further the HEMP filter industry does not provide certified equipment to Verification Level Testing or any comparable documentation. Passing these tests gives us the best chance of mission success and receiving certifications from STRATCOM/DTRA for the HEMP Shielding System. National security classifications prevent wide distribution of verification testing results. No other filter assembly models are known to have verification test data available to prove they meet the testing requirements. The estimated cost of the ETS Lindgren/Filter Assemblies is respectively. Approval authority for this Limited Source Justification is the Procuring Contracting Officer.

4. AUTHORITY CITED: Other than Full and Open Competition is authorized pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), when only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED:

Background: Verification Level Testing results are classified and can be more stringent than industry acceptance test requirements that equipment is currently constructed to meet. The Missile Defense Agency has tested these HEMP Filters and they have performed well and have passed Verification Level Testing. Further the HEMP filter industry does not provide certified equipment to Verification Level Testing or any comparable documentation.

Passing these tests gives us the best chance of mission success and receiving certification from STRATCOM/DTRA for the HEMP Shielding System.

b. Justification: National security classifications prevent wide distribution of verification testing results. DTRA is currently in modifying MIL-STD-188-125-1 acceptance test requirements to account for the more stringent PCI verification tests, which are performed after the filters have been turned over to the Government. Manufacturer data is not available for this change in filter testing requirements. No other filter assembly models are known to have verification test data available to prove they meet the testing requirements. It is likely that award to any other manufacturer would result in unacceptable delays of up to 6 months in fulfilling the agency's requirements due to the additional required testing and possibility of a manufacturers inability to meet these new requirements.

c. Impact Risks to the mission are increased by installing other filter assembly makes and models that could perform improperly compromising the national security protection requirements. USACE is requesting to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals to only the proven manufacturer makes and models.

d. Alternatives: None. Specification of a ETS Lindgren/Filter Assemblies models HEMP- 3030R, HEMP-3100R and HEMP-2010R for FTG33 FGACC requirements, precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.

6. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION: In an attempt to solicit offers from as many potential sources as practical, market research was conducted as described in paragraph 8 below. Effective competition is not anticipated for this HEMP filter assembly.

There are no other known sources that have the available data for passing PCI verification tests.

7. ACTIONS TO INCREASE COMPETITION: Based on information in paragraph 5, above, competition for the sole source brand name item to be included in solicitation W911KB-21-R-0004 is not feasible.

8. MARKET SURVEY: An internet search was performed to search for alternatives to this product as well as vendors. There was not a suitable alternative located. There are a substantial number of vendors who will be able to provide competitive quotes for the prime contractor selected.

9. INTERESTED SOURCE: In accordance with FAR 5.102(a)(6), this J&A will be posted with the solicitation when the solicitation is made available through the Government Point of Entry (https//beta.sam.gov). Any sources that indicate interest as a result of the publication will be evaluated. To date, no other sources have written to express interest.

10. OTHER FACTORS:

a. Procurement History: ETS Lindgren/Filter Assemblies models HEMP-3030R, HEMP-

3100R and HEMP-2010R have been purchased and tested by the Missile Defense Agency and are the sole filter to have passed their classified testing requirements.

b. Acquisition Data Availability: Not applicable.

c. Unusual and Compelling Urgency: Not applicable.

d. Subcontracting Competition: Subcontracting opportunities exist for suppliers, distributors, and/or installers. This is a restrictive specification that only precludes consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Subcontracting competition will be the responsibility of the Prime contractor awarded the contract.

Your attention is invited to Clause 52.225-12 Notice of Buy American Requirement-Construction Materials under Trade Agreements. You are advised to inform your potential subcontractors and suppliers of the Buy

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(3) It is the only proposal received.

Section 00 21 00 Page 9

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall--

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose

Section 00 21 00 Page 10 the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award.

(1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors

(except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the

Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Section 00 21 00 Page 11

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT (APR 1984)

The Government contemplates award of a FIRM FIXED PRICE contract resulting from this solicitation.

52.217-5 EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (JUL 1990)

Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Contracting Officer.

(2) The due date for receipt of offers will not be extended as a result of an offeror's request for a wage determination for a secondary site of the work.
