FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii) establishes the continued need for the Newport operations and maintenance as no other known entity can perform this function. OSU's established operations and maintenance on campus allows for efficiencies not capable from other contractors.

These advantageous qualifications allow OSU to offer the required services in full at rates not possible from other sources lacking the established infrastructure on the OSU campus. Responses to this notice must be provided within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of this notice. Vendors who believe they can meet this requirement are required to submit in writing an affirmative response demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the requirement. All written responses must include a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement. The response must be sufficient to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirement. Failure to submit such documentation will result in the Government proceeding as previously stated. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Affirmative written responses must be received no later than 4:00 P.M. local time, April 27, 2017. The responses must be submitted via e-mail to Ben Carlson, Contract Specialist, at ben.carlson@noaa.gov, with a hard copy to the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Western Acquisition Division, 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Bldg 1, Seattle, WA 98115.
