SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1))

NM-AN2120-22-00309

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). Replacement components and installation for the Sperry Marine Gyrocompass, Gyro Repeaters, S-Band and X-Band Radar units currently in service on the NOAA research vessel Ferdinand Hassler

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

Northrop-Grumman Sperry Marine, 118 Burlington Road, New Malden – Surrey KT3 4NR - United Kingdom

EAST COAST U.S./1070 Seminole Trail, Charlottesville, VA 22901, (434) 974-2000

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

Brand 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 Gyrocompass units, Gyro Repeaters, and S-Band Radar units are manufactured by Northrop-Grumman’s Sperry Marine Division, a large, foreign-owned business. Parts for these systems are proprietary to Sperry Marine – Equipment or parts from another manufacturer would not be compatible with these systems. OEM replacement parts can only be provided by Sperry Marine or one of Sperry Marine’s authorized servicing dealers.

5. Market Research.

Sperry Marine has authorized servicing dealers on the east coast which may have capability and capacity to provide OEM replacement parts and installation. The authorized servicing dealers are listed on Sperry Marine’s website in the “Locations – Offices” section.

6. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification

I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government's minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
