- Description
- JUSTIFICATION FOR AN EXCEPTION TO FAIR OPPORTUNITY Installation and Configuration for Pacific Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) 1. Identification of the agency and the contracting activity: Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), 4800 Mark Center Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22350 2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved: Directed task order against the GSA's 8(a) Streamlined Technology Application Resource for Services (STARS) II Government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC), under FAR 16.505 ordering procedures. 3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency's needs: The DoDEA IT Division has a requirement for installation and configuration of Aruba Access Points, Network Switches, and Aruba controllers for the wireless local area network (WLAN) at DoDEA schools administered by DoDEA-Pacific. 4. Identification of the exception to fair opportunity: This action is being processed under fair opportunity exception 16.505(b)(2)(i)(E) - For orders exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the purchase be made from a specified source. The GSA 8(a) STARS II GWAC was authorized under the provisions of Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act 15 U.S.C. 637(a) and retains the 8(a) sole source "directed order," authority found in FAR 19.8. It resulted from a competitive 8(a) procurement, which was offered to and accepted into the SBA 8(a) program; therefore, order requirements do not require an additional offer and acceptance from SBA per 19.804-6(a). The GSA 8(a) STARS II GWAC allows for directed orders up to the competitive threshold of $4,000,000.00. 5. A determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable: The Contracting Officer will determine the final price to be fair and reasonable prior to award, using applicable price analysis techniques. The competitive GSA 8(a) STARS II basic published pricing is available on the 8(a) STARS II website via a Pricing Tool and is useful as references for Ordering COs to incorporate into their price analyses for FFP type contracts. The Ordering CO will consider the various vendor published labor rates in the contracts versus proposed prices, to determine that the total firm, fixed price for the proposed task order is appropriate given the requirements and order type, consistent with FAR 15.4, Contract Pricing. 6. Any other facts supporting the justification: N/A 7. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the exception to fair opportunity before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made: None. Sole source 8(a) awards under the established competitive threshold are expressly permitted by statute. A synopsis of contract award and a copy of this Exception to Fair Opportunity will be posted within 14 days after placing the order to FedBizOpps as required by 5.301(d)(3) and 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(D) and will remain posted there for a minimum of 30 days.
