- Description
- Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Weather Service, National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) purchased Cisco SmartNet maintenance utilizng the following exception to fair opportunity, Federal Acquisition Regulation 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized. Maintenance from Cisco, the original manufacturer, allows NCEP to protect and extend the life of their investment, and guaurantee quality and ensure that all parts are original. Cisco or Cisco resellers are the only known sources to provide maintenance without seriously and adversely impacting NCEP's mission. Allowing Cisco to continue to provide maintenance avoids a learning curve that a new vendor would endure.
