Brand Name/Sole Source Justification under $250K

PMD Number: N63394-24-SIMACQ-PHD-N00-0001

Department: PD Portfolio Directorate

Company Name/Brand: New River Kinematic

This procurement is for a license and software maintenance agreement for the Spatial Analyzer software from New River Kinematics, Inc. (NRK). This software is currently utilized by NSWC PHD, all US Navy Regional Maintenance Centers (RMCs), and all shipyards across the world to facilitate the operation of portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) such as the 3D laser trackers. These CMMs or 3D laser trackers are necessary to conduct combat system alignment work.

Identification of Justification Rational:

The Material or service must be compatible will aspects (Form, Fit, and Function) with existing systems presently installed.

A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition.

Urgency.

Identification of the Justification Rationale Explained: **If using form, fit, and function, describe the current equipment and how the new item/service must coordinate or interface.

**If using patent, copyright, proprietary data, describe the proprietary data. **If using direct replacement, describe this below.

SpatialAnalyzer is developed and sold directly by NRK. According to a NRK representative, the only source for a valid license will be directly from NRK since no other company is authorized to directly sell Spatial Analyzer licenses. This software is currently the only software that meets our requirements due to our standard operating procedure and current AEGIS adaptation data review process. Our adaptation data change review board (ADCRB) includes stakeholders from several companies that also must use this software for evaluation and processing of adaptation data for AEGIS ships and shore facilities. To change this software or not renew the software license means work stoppage for adaptation delivery to the fleet.

Specific Characteristics of the Item or Service required that Limit the Availability to a Sole Source or Brand Name: **This is the most important section. Explain in detail why this company or brand are the only ones that can meet the requirement.

Spatial Analyzer by NRK allows for operation of portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) such as the 3D laser trackers. NSWCPHD, US Navy Regional Maintenance Centers (RMCs), and shipyards across the world utilize these 3D laser trackers to conduct combat systems alignment work. The use of this software is required by the CSA Standard Operating
