- Description
- JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (1)Agency and contracting activity (FAR 6.303 2(a)(1)) This requirement is for the 174th CE. The contracting agency is the 174th Contracting Office. (2)Nature and/or description of the action being approved (FAR 6.303 2(a)(2)) Upgrade Fire Alarm Central Receiving station B644 and B174. (3)Supplies or services required to meet the Agency needs (including estimated value) (FAR 6.303 2(a)(3)) Replace existing Motorola Moscad Field Interface Units with Motorola ACE 3600. Provide 2 new computers to operate all required software. Upgrade to newest version of Wonderware to monitor fire alarms. All installation shall be at fire station B644 and Security Forces B174. Also install and program Win-911 software to be able to communicate with mobile devices. (4)Statutory authority (FAR 6.303 2(a)(4)) FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. (5)The proposed contractor's unique qualifications require use of the authority cited above (FAR 6.303 2(2)(5)) The purchase is for the technical services associated with the assembly, installation or servicing of equipment of a highly technical or specialized nature. Wells Communication is currently responsible for maintaining the current system. (6)Description of efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable (FAR 6.303 2(a)(6)) There is one other company in Arizona that has knowledge of our data base and the cost for labor and transportation is extremely high. (7)Determination of fair and reasonable cost (FAR 6.303 2(a)(7)) Price was compared to an Independent Government Estimate. (8)Market survey (FAR 6.303 2(a)(8)) None at this time. (9)Other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition (FAR 6.303 2(a)(9)) Wells Communication is responsible for maintaining the current system. They have the expertise and knowledge of the central receiving system since they upgraded the equipment and software in 2006. The existing system is beginning to fail and is no longer able to be upgraded. The equipment and software is needed to monitor all base wide fire alarms in all facilities. Without the upgrade the current equipment will fail and leave the base with no early detection of fire alarms and the potential for a fire to spread rapidly before being noticed. (10)List of sources, if any, that expressed a written interest in the acquisition (FAR 6.303 2(a)(10)) None at this time. (11)Actions, if any, that are being taken to remove and overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required (FAR 6.303 2(a)(11)) None at this time. (12)Contracting Officer's certification (FAR 6.303(a)(12)) I have determined that the anticipated cost to the government will be fair and reasonable and certify that the justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Jennifer L. Restey Contracting Officer (13)Approval (FAR 6.304) In accordance with FAR 6.304, the above justification for other than full and open competition is hereby approved. Jennifer L. Restey Contracting Officer
