About this file
This is a Justification for Brand Name document under Simplified Procedures for a federal contract opportunity (Purchase Request/Document Number 1301368801).
The Maritime Expeditionary Security Group TWO (MESG-2) requires new SD-card navigation charts manufactured exclusively by NAVICO C-MAP for their patrol boats equipped with FURUNO NAVNET 3D and VX2 radar systems (models MFD12 and 1833C/NT respectively). The requirement specifies the following quantities: 65 units of NA-M033 (New Unlock) NavNet 3D System charts covering the Atlantic Coast, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean; 12 units of ME-M204 (New Unlock) NavNet 3D System charts covering the Red Sea to the Gulf and Seychelles; and 8 units of NA-M033 (New Unlock) VX2 System charts covering the Atlantic Coast, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. All charts must be in their latest versions to provide critical chart data updates for navigation systems on MESF 40, 35, and 25-foot patrol boats. The justification for sole-source procurement is that the existing radar equipment uses proprietary SD-card technology manufactured exclusively by NAVICO; no other navigation chips are compatible with the installed chip readers, and no substitute products are available. The document confirms these are direct replacement parts for existing equipment and notes that NAVICO is the original equipment manufacturer with hundreds of authorized resellers available. An Independent Government Estimate is referenced but redacted from the document.
