This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The document details a sole source procurement for an Artec Leo 3D Scanner from Artec 3D and its authorized distributors. The justification is based on brand name requirements, specifically that the agency has already received training on the Artec Leo 3D Scanner and switching to another brand would require additional scanner-specific training, causing time delays and increased costs.

The procurement is for an emerging requirement that involves purchasing a new scanner and modeling software. The document highlights that changing the maintenance provider would necessitate extensive retesting. The total dollar value is redacted, but the acquisition is under the simplified acquisition threshold. The document is dated August 2021 and has been approved by a Contracting Officer named Becky Helton from the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, with an anticipated award date of July 2025.
