Identification of the justification rationale and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1: The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement to procure the installation of AECS and IDS in buildings T-2140 and T-2141 at NSWC PCD. This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reason(s): Mandex, Inc. currently maintains/sustains all Integrated Electronic Surveillance Systems (IESS), including Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Automated Entry Control Systems (AECS) and Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) in facilities operated by NSWC PCD. These systems are critical to the safeguarding of Secret and Top Secret information; therefore, they must be maintained at optimal functionality. In order to achieve this functionality, each component of each system must operate with minimal downtime. When additional contractors are used to install IESS components, the installation typically includes a 1-year parts & labor warranty; however, Mandex is contracted to operate and maintain those newly installed items as soon as they come online. When installed components malfunction, they invariably require extended periods of time spent ascertaining the party responsible to repair or replace them. The installing contractor will usually direct the responsibility for repair/replacement on the sustainment contractor, and vice versa. Meanwhile, the IESS functions at less than optimal performance, with chinks in the armor that protects the nation’s vital secrets. In order to keep this time to a minimum, a single entity responsible for the entire IESS must be utilized. Since Mandex currently maintains these systems, Mandex must install the components as well. As such Mandex, Inc. is the only source capable of meeting this requirement. 5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b). The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs. 6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted. This requirement will be synopsized on the Contract Opportunities website at sam.gov per FAR Part 5.2. No additional market research was conducted for the reasons discussed in paragraph 4 above, for any company other than Mandex, Inc. to provide the products. 7. Any other facts supporting the justification. None. 8. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made. As stated in paragraph 4 above, Mandex, Inc. is the only source that can meet the requirement.

(NAVSEA) (APR 2019) 52.219-14 LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING G-232-H005 SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING INVOICING (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019) (a) For other than firm fixed priced contract line item numbers (CLINs), the Contractor agrees to segregate costs incurred under this contract/task order (TO), as applicable, at the lowest level of performance, either at the sub line item number (SLIN) or CLIN level, rather than at the total contract/TO level, and to submit invoices reflecting costs incurred at that level. Supporting documentation in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoices shall include summaries of work charged during the period covered as well as overall cumulative summaries by individual labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of other direct costs (ODCs), materials, and travel, by technical instruction (TI), SLIN, or CLIN level. For other than firm fixed price subcontracts, subcontractors are also required to provide labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of ODCs, materials, and travel invoiced. Supporting documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal. Subcontractors may email encryption code information directly to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Should the subcontractor lack encryption capability, the subcontractor may also email detailed supporting cost information directly to the Contracting Officer and COR; or other method as agreed to by the Contracting Officer. (b) Contractors submitting payment requests and receiving reports to WAWF using either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) shall separately send an email notification to the COR and Contracting Officer on the same date they submit the invoice in WAWF. No payments shall be due if the contractor does not provide the COR and Contracting Officer email notification as required herein. *(End of Text) G-242-H001 GOVERNMENT CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION POINTS-OF-CONTACT AND RESPONSIBILITIES (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018) (a) The Government reserves the right to administratively substitute any of the points of contact listed below at any time. (b) The contracting officer is the only person authorized to change this contract or orders issued thereunder. The Contractor shall not comply with any order, direction or request of Government personnel - that would constitute a change - unless it is issued in writing and signed by the Contracting Officer or is pursuant to specific authority otherwise included as part of this contract. If, in the opinion of the contractor, an effort outside the existing scope of this contract is requested, the contractor shall promptly comply with the Notification of Changes clause of this contract. (c) The points of contact are as follows: (i) The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) is: See page 1, Block 24 (ii) The Contract Specialist is: Name: Nicole Stevens E-mail: Nicole.Stevens3.civ@us.navy.mil G-242-H002 HOURS OF OPERATION AND HOLIDAY SCHEDULE (NAVSEA) (JUL 2021) (a) The policy of this activity is to schedule periods of reduced operations or shutdown during holiday periods. Deliveries will not be accepted on Saturdays, Sundays or Holidays except as specifically requested by the [insert activity name]. All goods or services attempted to be delivered on a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday without specific instructions from the Contracting Officer or his duly appointed representative will be returned to the contractor at the contractor’s expense with no cost or liability to the U.S. Government. (b) The federal Government observes public Holidays that have been established under 5 U.S.C. 6103. The actual date of observance for each of the holidays, for a specific calendar year, may be obtained from the OPM website at OPM.GOV or by using the following direct link: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/federal-holidays/. (c) Delayed Opening, Early Dismissal and Closure of Government Facilities. When a Government facility has a delayed opening, is closed or Federal employees are dismissed early (due to severe weather, security threat, security exercise, or a facility related problem) that prevents personnel from working, onsite contractor personnel regularly assigned to work at that facility shall follow the same reporting and/or departure directions given to Government personnel. The contractor shall not direct charge to the contract for such time off, but shall follow parent company policies regarding taking leave (administrative or other). Non-essential contractor personnel, who are not required to remain at or report to the facility, shall follow their parent company policy regarding whether they should go/stay home or report to another company facility. Subsequent to an early dismissal, delayed opening, or during periods of inclement weather, onsite contractors should monitor the OPM website as well as radio and television announcements before departing for work to determine if the facility is closed or operating on a delayed arrival basis. (d) When Federal employees are excused from work due to a holiday or a special event (that is unrelated to severe weather, a security threat, or a facility related problem), on site contractors shall continue working established work hours or take leave in accordance with parent company policy. Those contractor employees who take leave shall not direct charge the non-working hours to the contract. Contractors are responsible for predetermining and disclosing their charging practices for early dismissal, delayed openings, or closings in accordance with the FAR, applicable cost accounting standards, and the company’s established policy and procedures. Contractors shall follow their disclosed charging practices during the contract period of performance, and shall not follow any verbal directions to the contrary. The Contracting Officer will make the determination of cost allowability for time lost due to facility closure in accordance with FAR, applicable Cost Accounting Standards, and the Contractor's established accounting policy and procedures. (e) If you intend to visit the Contracts Office, it is advised that you call for an appointment at least 24 hours in advance. (f) The hours of operation are as follows: AREA FROM TO NSWC-PCD and/or NEDU 0700 1600* (g) All deliveries to the Receiving Officer, (See Delivery Schedule, Section F), shall be made Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1600 local time, unless otherwise specified.
