- Description
- SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 Not Exceeding $150K) 1. Agency/Contracting Activity: Mission and Installation Contracting Command- Fort Polk, LA 2. Description of Action: Nature: New Requirement Follow-On Requirement Mod to Existing Purchase Order/Contract Number Pricing: Firm-Fixed Price Time and Materials Funds: OMA Other Funds:_________ 3. Description of Supplies/Services: a. The total estimated dollar value of the proposed action is b. WatchGuard Body Vista HD Cameras, model VIS-CAM-EXT-002, to be worn by the DES Police Officers of Fort Polk, LA 4. Authority: Action using Simplified Acquisition Procedures fAR 13.106-1(b) (1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), 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.) 5. Reason for Authority Cited: Currently, the systems mounted on the motorcycles and within the automobiles used by the Fort Polk DES Police Force are outfitted with WatchGuard audio and video systems as well as the evidence library software and various other interface systems and back-up hardware. To procure another brand of body camera would require spending over $471K to ensure compatibility existed throughout the entire fleet of DES vehicles. It would be cost prohibitive to the Government to procure another brand of body camera. These cameras are essential to the needs of the Government, especially in providing a clear chain of custody by obtaining audio and video recordings of police and public interactions and other events during normal police operations. 6. Actions to Increase Competition: A sources sought targeting small businesses was posted to FedBizOps on 23 March 2015 to gauge industry interest and capabilities in providing the WatchGuard brand of body cameras. Seven vendors responded to the sources sought. One vendor had a GSA schedule; the other six were capable of providing the brand-name product via open market. MICC-FPLA-15-07 7. Market Research: Other market research involved independent review of the mandatory sources required of FAR Part 8. None were found in the inventories of the requiring activity; no excess was available from other lateral agencies; the Federal Prison Industries, Inc. did not support these items; the items required were not on the Procurement List maintained by the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled; were not available through wholesale supply sources in enough quantity to allow for adequate competition among the suppliers of this brand of body camera. Finally, an exhaustive internet search revealed only four potential vendors found. 8. Procurement History: Previous Purchase Orders(s) or Contract(s): Yes No Purchase order or contract number:_______________ Was action competed? Yes No If action was not competed, state the cited authority, summarize rationale:______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ 9. Interested Sources: No other vendors have expressed interest in this acquisition nor have any unsolicited quotes been received regarding this acquisition. 10. Additional information to support the justification: N/A. 11. Technical/Requirements Certification: I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance which is included in the abbreviated J&A is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Submitted By: Position Title: LE Management Branch Email Address: Signature: 12. Fair and Reasonable Price Determination: As Contracting Officer, I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government for this contract action will be fair and reasonable. Basis for the determination: comparative price analysis techniques. MICC-FPLA-15-07 13. Contracting Officer's Approval: I hereby certify that this Justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Based on the foregoing, I approve this sole source justification subject to availability of funds, and provided that the services and supplies herein described have otherwise been authorized for acquisition Magdaleno M.
