About this file

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Navy Marine Corps details a non-competitive contract for Samsung or Kingston 1 TB Solid State Drives (SSDs). The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) plans to award a firm-fixed price contract for specific 1 TB SSDs (part numbers MZ-76P1T0E/AM or SKC600/1024G) to support booting of thin clients and store boot sequence data.

The document extensively describes due diligence efforts to validate these specific SSD brands, including Supply Chain Risk Management, counterfeit avoidance testing, and Functional Qualification Testing (FQT). Multiple industry and government standards were evaluated, and the Samsung and Kingston brands were determined to meet technical requirements and significantly reduce counterfeiting risks. The contract specialist conducted market research through GSA Advantage, NASA SEWP, and SAM.gov, posting sources sought notices from 04/29/2025 - 05/08/2025, and received responses from multiple sources. The total procurement cost was determined fair and reasonable, with the Contracting Officer approving the non-competitive procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority.
