This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for the use of other than full and open competition for a single-source procurement by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Fleet Logistics Center – San Diego (FLCSD), on behalf of Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar (NCBM).

The procurement requests 14 LexisNexis correctional-grade kiosks with 17-inch touchscreen monitors, Windows 10 operating system, and LexisNexis legal research software installed, along with 14 desk mounts. The total estimated value is $77,560.00 with a required delivery date of 30 days after receipt of order (ARO). The justification for single-source procurement is based on brand name requirements, citing that LexisNexis is the only brand capable of providing secure, correctional-grade kiosks with comprehensive, up-to-date legal research resources while maintaining compliance with institutional and legal standards. The document notes that NCBM currently operates LexisNexis correctional-grade kiosks and requires the same equipment to ensure continuity, standardized access to legal reference materials, and compliance with SECNAV equipment requirements. Prior market research efforts, including an open market Sources Sought posting on SAM.gov (May 13 – May 20, 2026), an RFI through NASA's SEWP vehicle, and contract specialist research, found no other vendors capable of meeting these requirements. The statutory authority for this procurement action is 41 U.S.C. 1903 as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii). The J&A includes certifications from technical and requirements personnel, contracting officer approval, and legal sufficiency review.
