D--Control Number: AGC-11-0006; Justification and Approval For an Exception to Fair Opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Geospatial Center issued this award notice for solicitation W9132V08R0003, identifying a sole-source task order under NAICS 541512 Computer Systems Design Services and PSC code D. This contract action was completed using other than competitive procedures because the required services are unique and highly specialized, meeting the "Only One Contractor is Capable" exception under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B). Nishchay Dumera is the designated point of contact for this award, which was published on October 5, 2011, and includes one attachment.

The purpose of this requirement is to integrate the Proactive Real-Property Interactive Space Management System/Management Command & Control (PRISMS/MC2) with Army Mapper. This integration leverages existing PRISMS technical infrastructure, capabilities, and data resources to provide installations with spatial capabilities and data-driven decision-making tools. The rationale for the exception to fair opportunity requirements, as outlined in FAR 8.405-6(b)(1) or 16.505(b)(2)(ii), is based on the determination that only one source is capable of providing the services at the required level of quality. The task order placement procedures were further governed by the conditions specified in Exhibit E of the basic contract award.
