BRAND NAME This source justification is for the negotiation and issuance of a firm-fixed price purchase order in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures to acquire Brand Name Cardinal Peak, LLC, CaseCracker digital recording information management system hardware, software, and service desk maintenance support for Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS). The proposed acquisition is a continuation and extension of maintenance support for hardware, software and service desk support to be performed by New River Systems Corporation (NRS). A requirements contract was competitively awarded on 4 April 2011 for the purchase of the digital recording systems. The systems purchased under the requirements contract now require maintenance support. NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center-Norfolk intends to issue a sole source purchase order to NRS. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements; therefore, no other vendors or suppliers are able to provide maintenance support on the systems. These systems are essential to NCIS and therefore require maintenance support. Since FY 2011, CaseCracker digital recording systems have been fielded within the US, Outside the Continuous United States (OCONUS), war zones and aboard ships at sea. Cardinal Peak, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) provides 3-year hardware and software warranties that included service desk support service, for their products. The first group of product warranties expires on 15 Jul 2014 and the maintenance support is required. The extended warranties cover hardware and software, software updates and bug fixes, and service desk support. It is not practical or effective to transition the knowledge to another entity during the short duration required for a new contractor to perform the maintenance support. The consequences of adding a new contractor would be a delay in service and system downtime. Additionally, NRS provides 1) verification and authentication of Cardinal Peak certified products, 2) support is provided directly through Cardinal Peak; no 3rd party maintenance is allowed and 3) refurbished and/or grey market products are not provided thus reducing the risks on warranty and security issues. NRS, also, provides a direct and established relationship with the OEM. Future requirements will be evaluated to determine whether an alternate brand/source or maintenance provider can be used. However, it is unlikely that this requirement can be broken out to any other maintenance provider except the OEM.
