Authority: The statutory authority permitting use of noncompetitive procedures is as follows: 41 U.S.C.253 (c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart FAR 6.302-1 V. Applicability of Authority: This justification indicates the use of the descriptions is essential to the Government's requirements due to the equipment that is being requested will connect existing equipment to the newly renovated area of the facility to provide continuing telemetry coverage. This equipment will not operate on different telemetry systems from other vendors due to its unique features and its incapability with other systems. Certified technicians trained and skilled on installation of this equipment are vital to ensure proper set up with consistent functioning capabilities. VI. Efforts to Obtain Competition: See part VIII VII. Fair and Reasonable Costs: Prior acquisition history of this type of equipment has resulted in the best discount for the Government. By signing the justification the Contracting Officer determination is that the costs/prices to the Government will be fair and reasonable based on past procurements and discounts offered. This supports a determination of fair and reasonable. As a result, there is a cost savings to the Government. VIII.
