Nature and / or description of the action being approved: The acquisition of Fifteen (15) Each of: Coast Guard Globestar II Desktop Training Lab System Base System Components (PN: 001368-05). The acquisition of One (1) Each of: Coast Guard Globestar II System (PN: 001368-01). 3. Description of supplies or services required to meet the agency's needs (including the estimated value). The model we are requesting to purchase is the Coast Guard Globestar II Desktop Lab System (NON-60945 Compliant). And the Coast Guard Globestar II System. Estimated Value: $40,000.00 4. An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition: This statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c) (1) implemented by FAR Subpart 6.302-1, entitled "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". 5. A Demonstration that the proposed contractor's unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited: CCS Incorporated is the only vendor who can provide Coast Guard Globestar II Desktops. 6. A description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including wheather a notice was or will be publicized as required bt Subpart 5.2 and, if not which exception under 5.202 applies: A Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be posted on FedBizOps for any contractor that feels they can provide these items as specified, to provide a price quote. 7. Determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable: A Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be posted on FedBizOps for any contractor that feels they can provide these items as specified, to provide a price quote. 8. A description of the market research conducted (see part 10) and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted: Attempted to find comparable computer systems from Best Buy and Dell was unable to locate such computer systems. Best Buy no longer sells brand new computers with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor; I was only able to find refurbished computers. All other computers at a comparable price as the computer systems quoted by CCS Inc have completely different internal components and there is no guarantee that those will work with the current or future versions of the CG- ECDIS navigation software that we wish to run on them. 9. Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open Competition such as: (i) Explanation of why technical data packages, specifications, engineering descriptions, statements of work, or purchase descriptions suitable for full and open competition have not been developed or are not available. (ii) When 6.302-1 is cited for follow-on acquisitions as described in 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), an estimate of the cost to the Government that would be duplicated and how the estimate was derived. (iii) When 6.302-2 is cited, data, estimated cost, or other rationale as to the extent and nature of the harm to the Government. The components within the Coast Guard Globestar II computer systems quoted are older and outdated compared to computer systems that can be purchased off the shelf from large companies such as Dell or HP. Due to the nature of the ever changing computer industry the only companies that would be able to supply these computer systems would be ones that custom build computers for customers, that have access to older computer components. 10. A listing of sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition: None at this time 11. A statement of actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required: None at this time 12. Contracting officer certification that he justification is accurate and complete to the best of the contracting officer's knowledge and belief: I certify that this requirement meets the Government's minimum need and that the supporting data, which forms a basis for this justification, is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. ____________________________ Date_______________________ James A.
