4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) Only one responsible source.
5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority TDFLIR is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the SSS III, BS II, and TacFLIR 380-HD and SeaFLIR 380-HD EOS systems and associated hand control units, and spare parts. The SSS III EOS Systems being supported were originally acquired through competitive procurement under N00164-10-D-JQ88 and acquired under sole source procurement N00164-16D-JQ96. This requirement is a follow-on to these contracts with the 380-HD requirements added. The BS II EOS Systems being supported were originally acquired under N00164-12-CJQ42 on a sole source basis (Unusual and Compelling Urgency) and through competitive brand name or equal procurement under N00164-12-D-JQ18. The Government has been purchasing the SSS III and BS II EOS Systems from TDFLIR for over 20 years. Based on the OEM’s knowledge and expertise, it has been documented that there is no other company that has the knowledge and technical capability to perform these requirements. The Government does not own the proprietary design specifications for drawings and other associated documents that would allow for competition or TT&E and repairs, field repairs / tech assists or engineering services / upgrades for the systems. TDFLIR advised NSWC Crane that it would not license or sell its proprietary data to the Government or to any other entity. The development and sustainment of another source would result in excessive duplication of costs to the Government, and these costs would not be recouped through competition. Independent estimated value of this buy, compared to the estimated integration and test costs, makes it impracticable to pursue competition now or during the course of performance. Total Duplication of Costs for both standing up the organic repair facility and competitive solicitation total $24,400,000.
