CLASS JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION Upon the basis of the following Justification, the class of procurements described below should be issued other than full and open competition, pursuant to the authority cited herein. JUSTIFICATION 1. Contracting Office: This class justification and approval is prepared by the Headquarters Procurement Team, U.S. Marshals (USMS). 2. Nature of the Action: Class justification and approval for other than full and open competition under FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements. 3. Description of Supplies Services: The equipment required is one Gyro-Cam TS Triple Sensor. The estimated price is $260,000.00. 4. Statutory Authority: Appropriate statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253 ? (1). 5. Rationale Supporting Use of Authority Cited Above: A fully functional Infrared Dual Sensor and zoom capable camera system are instrumental in helping the USMS complete its mission of air surveillance. The Gyro-Cam Systems Dual Sensor Camera, which is in use on all USMS Cessna 206 aircraft, has proven adequate in meeting the USMS needs. The Gyro-Cam System is the only system that is compatible with previously installed mounting and operating systems onboard the USMS Cessna 206 aircrafts. 6. Efforts to solicit potential sources: A sole source combined synopsis/solicitation will be issued on FEDBIZOPPS. The contracting office/requesting office will evaluate all responses received. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Prices: The contractor has submitted data that the system to be procured has been sold in substantial quantities to Federal, State and local government entities. A price comparison will be performed between the current submitted price of their Gyro-Cam system and that of past prices offered to the USMS and other governmental/ non-governmental entities, for both identical and similar items. 8. Market Survey: Recent procurements for the Infrared Dual sensor have been sole source to Gyrocam Systems. This is because market research has shown that the Gyro-Cam System is the only system that fits the external camera mounts and operates on the internal operating systems installed on all USMS Cessna 206 aircraft. This has been verified by Richard Hunter, Chief Inspector, TOG, Air Surveillance Branch. Although past market research has indicated that there are several companies producing digital imagery collection systems, these systems are not compatible with the USMS Cessna 206 mounting and operating systems. 9. Additional Support: None. 10. Source List ? Gyro Cam Systems 11. Future Competitive Plans: The USMS will continue to perform market research in an attempt to find a zoom capable camera that meets the agency?s technical requirements. ___________ __________ Donnell Sam Date Contract Specialist CERTIFICATION PER FAR 6.303-2(b) I certify that the Government?s minimum needs and other rationale for other than full and open competition which form the basis for this justification are complete and accurate ____________________________ ___________ Rich Hunter, Chief Inspector Date Air Surveillance Operations, TOG
