FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; Executive Memoranda M-17-29, directs the CO to a Best-in-Class Mandatory solution for package delivery services. VA Directive 7179 directs to GSA PBA for domestic delivery services. NGDS (Next Generation Delivery Service) is available through GSA for DoD, Federal Civilian Agencies, and authorized entities. FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures. FAR 8.405-6(b): Items peculiar to one manufacturer: A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: These are direct replacements parts/components for existing equipment. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. (5) Describe Why You Believe the Order Represents the Best Value consistent with FAR 8.404(d) to aid the contracting officer in making this best value determination: This order represents the best value to the government due to the pre-negotiated pricing that was dictated upon contract award. This contract offers enterprise level purchasing power that eliminates redundancies and increases efficiency in order to deliver better value and savings to the government. FY22 pricing has shown a negligible increase over last FY s pricing.
