SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)\8.405-6(a)(1)(B))

NM-AN2120-23-00570

1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, NOAA Office of Marine and

Aviation Operations, Acquisition, Analysis, and Accountability Branch

2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value). One(1) Consilium SAL T2 ELC and One (1) Consilium SAL T TRU- 2-2 with 30 M cable, with shipping

3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.

Consilium Marine US Inc 4370 Oakes Road, Suite 721 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33314

4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

xBrand Name – This particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs.

The IMO required speed log cannot be replaced with non-approved equipment per SOLAS, US Code (CFR 48), and American Bureau of Shipping Regulations. The requested Consilium speed log Parts meet these requirements and is designated as a direct replacement for the failed components on the installed unit.

xCompatibility to existing systems or equipment - The required supplies or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems or equipment and the source is uniquely qualified to meet the requirement.

An earlier version of this speed log is currently installed on the ship. Replacement with the current brand is essential and allows the reuse of several components and existing wire runs. Consilium is the sole manufacturer and supplier of service and parts for their systems. NOAA research vessels follow vessel class configuration control protocols which requires that major ship mechanical and electronic systems all have the same equipment.

5. Market Research.

Consilium navigation components (including Doppler Speed Logs) are a fleet standard – costs for Consilium components and systems are comparable with other manufactured off-the-shelf Doppler Speed log units and navigation system components. Consilium sells their product line directly in the United States.
