ATTACHMENT 6 JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements (41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1)) National Archives and Records Administration 8601 Adelphi Road College Park, MD 20740-6001 DT RG3040 Reprographic Copy Stand Technical Requirements Certification: I hereby certify that this justification for other than full and open competition is made in good faith, that the supporting data and information are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief, and that I would not be making this request if it were feasible to fully compete this requirement. I further certify this request is not the result of lack of advanced planning or a desire to expend funds while those funds are still available. I. IDENTIFICATION OF THE AGENCY AND THE CONTRACTING ACTIVITY, AND SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENT AS A "JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION" See Page 1 II. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION BEING APPROVED This action is to purchase a 30 x 40 reprographic copy stand. The purchased equipment will be paired with an existing camera and lighting system and used for digitization of NARA records by the Preservation Unit in St. Louis (RXS). The equipment replaces a consumer grade copy stand which cannot adequately stabilize the camera and is not capable of photographing oversize items. The equipment proposed for purchase is manufactured by the same firm as the existing camera Digital Transitions, Inc. (DT). III. A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY'S NEEDS (INCLUDING THE ESTIMATED VALUE) The National Archives and Records Administration desires the ability to include, as a solicitation requirement, the Digital Transition DT3040 Copy Stand. The copy stand is an electro mechanical device designed to attach and position a digital camera overhead when imaging two dimensional originals (like paper records) below. The DT3040 is fitted with a 7 inch diameter cross section aluminum column and a 40 by 30 inch table (copy board). The unit is designed at table height for an Imaging Technician operator to engage the camera shutter and change copy without standing or changing position. This grade of copy stand that meets the agency needs is referred to here as commercial grade and is intended for digitization projects in museums and archives where several thousand images are generated in daily work and careful handling is essential. It can be differentiated from general or consumer use copy stands costing between $200 and $1000 mainly because of the overall size and weight and other mechanical features. The DT3040 has a 60 inch column and weighs 500lbs. It also differs by having an integrated foot pedal for operating the camera and accessories such as custom book cradles and transparency scanning adapters designed to fit into the unit for photographic bound volumes and photographic transparencies. The agency's needs are filled by this level of device which has an estimated value of $ dollars. The manufacture, Digital Transitions, is serving a niche market, cultural heritage imaging. The DT3040 product, is acquired directly from the manufacturer, rather than through retail outlets like consumer grade copy stands. The cost estimate for the copy stand and installation is $. IV. AN IDENTIFICATION OF THE STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) -"Only One Responsible Source" as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. V. A DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR THE NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED This acquisition meets the authority of FAR 6.302-1 which states that this authority may be used "when the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or,...from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for." Through Market Research NARA has established very limited products and suppliers to choose from at the commercial grade, these are the DT3040 and the TTI ReproGraphic Workstation 3040. The product (DT3040) met the requirement of the RXS operation without significant modification or customization, the TTI did not. Detailed distinctions between these two products that complete as commercial grade reprographic copy stands for cultural heritage imaging are outlined in the IGCE. The unique features of the selected system DT3040 are table height level operation of camera and an integrated foot pedal. Additionally, the TTI is intended for 4x5 digital camera systems with mounts for bellows based focusing (front and rear standard) and is not intended for medium format digital cameras with integrated lens focusing as the DT3040 is. VI. A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE, INCLUDING WHETHER A NOTICE WAS OR WILL BE PUBLICIZED AS REQUIRED BY SUBPART 5.2 AND, IF NOT, WHICH EXCEPTION UNDER 5.202 APPLIES. Market research was done to identify companies that sell commercial grade equipment and two products were identified as options. Quotes were obtained, product literature evaluated and questions were asked of resellers to determine suitability and relative merits. VII. A DETERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE The basis for a Fair and Reasonable Cost can is established by several factors listed in FAR 13-106.3 Previous cost paid by the agency for the same product, An Independent Government Cost Estimate details the reasonable expected costs for this equipment that are in-line with the suggested vendor's quotation. VIII. A DESCRIPTION OF THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED (SEE PART 10) AND THE RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED Internet searches of equipment vendors were done to determine the range of products available. Because there were limited products and vendors, a survey of manufacture exhibitors at imaging trade shows within the last 15 years was undertaken in an effort to locate additional, albeit obscure, manufactures of similar equipment. It was established that two products were previously manufactured in this market segment that are no longer in production. Because they are no longer produced, these defunct products were ruled out. Pricing was obtained from the two vendors currently manufacturing competing products; Digital Transitions and Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI). Product features and product designs were compared with the objective of matching the new units to existing medium format digital camera equipment in our lab. IX. ANY OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THE USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. SEE FAR 6.303-2(a)(9) NARA presently owns several DT3040 in College Park. This interchangeability of parts and familiarity with systems provides a convenience factor for NARA staff who repair and operate this equipment. X. A LISTING OF THE SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED, IN WRITING, AN INTEREST IN THE ACQUISITION N/A XI. A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED The government's ability to overcome barriers in competition is limited by the availability of products, in this case. Commercial grade reprographic camera / copy stands are manufactured and sold by small companies using proprietary components, custom fabrication and machining. Unfortunately in this marketplace there is little growth in demand that would allow for more robust competition and choices. Until and unless such customer demand exists, there is little action the agency could take to expand competition in future acquisitions of this niche product. However, in the future it would be prudent for the Agency to survey digitization equipment acquisition needs across multiple units of V (Innovation) and R (Research Services) and where possible, purchase several units at once to gain some leverage on pricing that a single unit purchase alone wouldn't convey. NARA will continue to monitor the market for future procurements. XII. CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFICATION THAT THE JUSTIFICATION IS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER'S KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF See Page 1.
