Justification & Rationale
The GSA is pursuing a sole source acquisition in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 because the required switch models are obsolete and no longer manufactured new. Extensive market research identified Electric Power Systems International, Inc. as the only known vendor capable of supplying fully functional, refurbished replacements for these specific critical components.
Future Plans
GSA plans to monitor component availability and incorporate obsolescence considerations into future modernization projects to promote competition for similar requirements in the long term.
