Training shall be conducted in five (5) consecutive days running Monday through Friday. Training shall be conducted no later than 14 days after delivery of items under CLIN 0001. 4. Identification of Statutory Authority. In accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), only one source is capable of providing the supplies required at the level of quality required because the PinPoint II R systems are highly specialized and the only machines interoperable with the current test routines utilized. 5. Rationale for Use of Authority Cited. In accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), Diagnosys Systems, Inc. is the only known source that can meet the Government's minimum requirement. The Diagnosys PinPoint II R system is comprised of two parts, hardware and the operating software which allow the individual hardware components to communicate collectively warehousing crucial data. However, the PinPoint II R system as packaged still requires development of test routines specific to the PinPoint II R platform and the piece of equipment under test, in this case Marine Corps Alpha TAMCN weapons systems. Currently, the PinPoint II R system is supported across the DoD as a GSA Scheduled item for the specific purpose of collaborative, cost effective and expedient repair of Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Specifically, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Detachment Field and Engineering Office, Norfolk, VA Electronics Maintenance Facilities in the timely repair of complex communications and electronics Printed Circuit Boards. The MTR Test Routines are published quarterly and distributed to Electronics Maintenance Company. The Diagnosys PinPoint II R system is the proprietary platform for which these test routines are designed to operate on and are not supportable by any other manufacturer or generic Printed Circuit Board test equipment. It is extremely cost prohibitive for Electronics Maintenance Company to procure a generic platform and redesign all previously developed test routines. Furthermore, procurement of any other brand would preclude Electronics Maintenance Company from using the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Detachment Field and Engineering Office's extensive research and development expenditures associated with the existing MTR Test Routines. Lastly, training with respect to the PinPoint II R system would initially be provided by the manufacturer, Diagnosys Systems, Inc. Once the initial training on the PinPoint II R system is conducted, follow-on training is available at no additional cost through the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Detachment Field and Engineering Office, Norfolk, VA (Code 2504) as well as Marine Corps Logistics Base. Understanding the rotation cycle of the Marine Corps, it becomes apparent that there is a fundamental requirement to develop a sustainable training program and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center has done just that. If forced to procure anything other than the Diagnosys PinPoint II R, ELMACO would have to seek vendor specific training that would only be utilized while a Marine was assigned to 2nd MLG ELMACO. As service members rotate out, additional training would be required for the inbound service member, resulting in additional costs to the Government which is cost prohibitive. ELMACO is advocating augmenting the Huntron Gold Disk program with the Diagnosys PinPoint II R system. Currently the PinPoint II R is utilized by Navy Aviation, Marine Corps Logistics Squadrons, Marine Corps Logistics Base, and 1st Electronics Maintenance Company, all of whom have and are currently developing proprietary test routines that would greatly benefit II MEF in the expeditious repair of electronics equipment. The Diagnosys PinPoint II R system's capabilities provide a robust solution that will expedite the repair of PCBs. Working tandem; Marine Corps Logistics Command, Marine Corps Systems Command, and Diagnosys industries could provide the technical schematics, component logistical data, and test routines for each PCB fielded as part of future weapons systems across all commodities with little to no impact to the program offices budget. 6. Efforts Made to Solicit Potential Sources. Pursuant to FAR 5.301(a)(2)(i), a notice of this requirement will be issued to the FedBizOpps for publication as the proposed contract is being prepared under the conditions described in FAR 8.405-6 (a)(1)(i)(B), only one source, and the Government would be seriously injured if the agency procures equipment other than the Diagnosys PinPoint II R system. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost. A determination has been made that placing a delivery order against an existing GSA contract represents the best value consistent with FAR 8.404(d). The required supplies are offered on the schedule at fixed prices and GSA has already determined supplies under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable. 8. Description of Market Research. Market research was conducted to verify that no other sources could provide the PCB testing equipement that is interoperable with the previously developed and utilized MRT Test Routines. A web-based search was conducted through open-market, as well as GSA Advantage and correspondence though email to the Defense Logistic Agency. The recommended source is the only company that is able to provide the PCB testers that are interoperable with the previously developed MRT Test Routines that are utilized. 9. Other Supporting Facts. Procurement of the PinPoint II R system makes fiscal sense. In a review of those PCBs submitted to the Material Return Program (MPR) from October 2012 through May 2013, ELMACO has submitted dispositions on a plethora of PCBs valued in excess of $639,398.73. At a seventy five percent repair rate; which is attainable, ELMACO would save $719,323.57 annually. If we calculated the ability to support the PCBs contained in other commodities, the cost savings would drastically increase. If a generic PCB tester was procured and the synergy within the DoD was lost, test route development costs and protracted development timelines would erode any significant cost savings. 10. Listing of Interested Sources. Diagnosys Service, Inc. 11. Actions Taken to Remove Barriers to Competition. There were no actions taken to remove any barriers. 12. Statement of Delivery Requirements. Delivery is required within six (6) weeks after receipt of order (ARO), with training beginning no later than 14 days after delivery of supplies. The extended technical support is required for a period of 12 months, beginning the day the supplies are received by the Government. 13. Total Estimated Value. The total estimated dollar value of this acquisition is $356,391.28. Appropriation Data: ACRN AA 17311061A1A260 20133 067443 2D 1A1A USMC 14. Class Justification. None 15.
