About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification under $250K for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Port Hueneme Division (PHD). The procurement involves SealLevel branded part numbers 7204EC-ROHS, NAVSSI and 7203E, EKMS Cards to be installed in a specific system, which will provide simulated almanac data and Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) crypto keys.
The justification rationale centers on the cards being 100% compatible with existing systems, with NSWC Dahlgren directing and approving SealLevel as the sole approved manufacturer. Market research was conducted through NASA SEWP from 03/07/2025 to 03/31/2025, with a subsequent Sources Sought posted from 05/23/2025 to 06/04/2025. Only one vendor ultimately provided a complete quote meeting all requirements. The document indicates that selecting an alternative brand would require hundreds of hours of additional testing, potentially delaying naval training and operational events. NSWC PHD Contracts Office commits to continued market research to potentially expand the vendor base in future procurements.

In addition, we received one external quote from , but only had the best pricing and met our specifications. GSAAdvantage, Unicor and AbilityOne did not provide any results.
