Justification for Sole Source
The award is justified as sole source to TLC Solutions, Inc. because they are the original designer and manufacturer of the DITTR equipment and hold all proprietary rights. Market research, including a sources sought notice on SAM.gov, yielded no other interested or capable vendors. TLC Solutions, Inc. is a small business.
Future Competition
The government intends to conduct further market research to identify competitive sources for future DITTR requirements. Strategies to increase competition include employing a tiered data rights strategy and leveraging government expertise to reduce contractor costs.
