Justification for Sole Source
The Justification and Approval (J&A) document highlights that SCADA systems require specialized services for installation and configuration. Market research identified only two companies nationwide capable of providing these services, and CDM Smith, Inc. was the original integrator for the FWTP and AHWWTP SCADA systems. They possess unique knowledge and testbeds crucial for system updates and security, especially in maintaining cybersecurity authorizations and mitigating vulnerabilities following recent typhoons. Prior attempts to obtain subcontracted support were insufficient.
