Contracting Activity. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), Contracts Department, 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001. 2. Description of the Action Being Approved. Award of a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract on a sole source basis to Complete Logistics Support, Inc. (CLS), 475 Market St. Elmwood Park, Elmwood Park, NJ 07407 (CAGE Code 7VDF1), for Configuration Management (CM) and Logistics support services. 3. Description of Supplies / Services. This procurement is for the award of a Firm Fixed Priced IDIQ Contract to acquire CM Architect, Logistics Support Services, Configuration Analyst, Documentation/Data Analyst, Product Support Specialist, Program Management support labor as follows: The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. The contract action will be funded with Navy Working Capital Funds. 4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other than Full and Open Competition. 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) [10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)], Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority. This requirement provides for Configuration Management and Logistics Support for the project. This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition because CLS has been identified as the only source that possesses the knowledge, skills, and abilities to meet the requirements of the project. CLS has developed and gained tacit knowledge of the processes and program requirements that govern the project’s day-to-day activities and understand the future project developmental needs. The project, as the designated Engineering Agent by the program office under the, has a requirement to continue, improve and grow configuration management processes to deliver to the combat diver extended capabilities through new equipment development or identification. The continued implementation and improvement of this requirement will improve the product lifecycle management of such equipment by better tracking equipment configuration baselines, detailed inventory, and equipment specific associated data. This requirement has been determined by all stakeholders to be better met by the implementation of the Configuration Management Professional (CMPRO) software. This software has an extensive history within the DoD in the application of configuration management processes improvement and has been approved for use by the Department of the Navy (DON) through the “Department of the Navy Applications and Database Management System” (DADMS) and meets the strict security requirements of various Naval “Authority To Operate” (ATO’s). CLS has an extensive history in the application of configuration management processes through the implementation of the CMPRO software and through their work with the project have developed unique skills in the application of these processes to specifically support the Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Process under the Adaptive Acquisition Framework Pathways that governs the project requirement. These tailored configuration management processes allows the project to meet the fast paced needs and requirements of the program office. In addition, CLS has a branch near the operational facilities that retain the adequate skilled talent that have been proven to be able to support and meet the program particular requirements, which is advantageous to the Government. Their talent include the highest levels of certification in Configuration Management and CMPRO, which includes Configuration Management II (CMII) Certified and Certified Instructor and CMPRO Instance Developer and System Architect. Due to the iterative nature of configuration management and database structure development processes the project has determined that contracted personnel working remotely would be ineffective and the effort would be cost-prohibitive to the government. The contracted personnel must be able to come on-site regularly to collaborate with engineers, technicians, and analysts. Selection of another source would significantly impact the project with extensive schedule delays to project deliverables and increased financial burden. Moreover, the NSWC PCD, estimates that employing any other company would require minimum investment of 24 months and an estimated cost in excess of provide the aforementioned services. This requirement has been historically solicited sole source to CLS (Solicitations: N61331-21-T-VT03, N61331-21-T-VT37, N61331-21-T-EW03, and N61331-22-T-VT12). Each solicitation was advertised in the government point of entry respectively. Neither of these proposed contract actions generated other industry or WOSB sources capable of meeting the program requirements. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost. The Contracting Officer will determine that the anticipated price to the Government for the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable. 8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition. For the reasons set forth in Paragraphs 5, NSWC PCD has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NSWC PCD will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
