Justification, Statutory Authority: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) –41 USC 1901- Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Contract Award Date: TBD Contract Award Number: TBD Synopsis: The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZZG), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole source contract Mpulse Software Inc located at 44 W Broadway STE 330 Eugene, Oregon 97401-3066 to provide the MSP subscription at Edwards AFB, CA. The contract will be executed by means of other than full and open competition, due to Mpulse Software Inc being the only authorized vendor capable to renew these services (Base + 4 1-Year Options: MPulse Maintenance and Support Program (MSP) Annual Renewal (POP 10 Dec 25 - 09 Dec 30) CLIN 0001 Base Year MPulse Annual Renewal (PoP 10 Dec 25 - 9 Dec 26) CLIN 1001 Option Year 1 MPulse Annual Renewal (PoP 10 Dec 26 - 9 Dec 27) CLIN 2001 Option Year 2 MPulse Annual Renewal (PoP 10 Dec 27 - 9 Dec 28) CLIN 3001 Option Year 3 MPulse Annual Renewal (PoP 10 Dec 28 - 9 Dec 29) CLIN 4001 Option Year 4 MPulse Annual Renewal (PoP 10 Dec 29 - 9 Dec 30) In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: Mpulse Software, Inc., has been identified as an efficient, reliable, and the only sole source vendor capable of providing comprehensive software/user support that provides Cloud hosting service. The Government does not perceive the benefits as outweighing the duplication costs which would result from a new source for this requirement. Mpulse Software, Inc., as the proprietary manufacturer, has the ability to meet mission schedules and most importantly, mission requirements and specifications for the unique software services necessary. As a result, a Synopsis of Contract Action will be posted to SAM.gov to outline the justifications for this single source acquisition, followed by an RFQ letter sent to Mpulse Software Inc. There are no solicitation documents; however, any vendors that believe they can meet the requirements described should submit a complete technical package, which provides clear and convincing evidence that they can meet the Government’s requirements.
