This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total estimated value greater than $25,000. The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures.

4. Identification of the justification rationale and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Application for brand name description FAR 6.302-1(c).

NEDU requires various equipment, components and parts to support the modernization of several life support and operational systems. These systems consist of breathing control system, power supplies, and break-out box. These parts are the only parts that can be used with existing systems because in the past, other parts have been used and were found to be incompatible. Because of the critical nature of these life support and safety systems at NEDU, every part must be of the highest possible quality, and the most dependable parts available. Lives can be compromised in the event of failure of any parts used during the daily operation and testing at NEDU. Extensive testing has been conducted on aftermarket parts and have proven to be inferior to these brands of equipment. The equipment being acquired is of high-quality and reliable and safe for use with NEDU’s critical life support systems. Using alternate equipment may change or introduce new parameters that may be harmful to the user of the compressor. As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does expect significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement. Therefore, it is imperative that these brands of Littlefuse Incorporated, Phoenix Contact, Alltech Corporation, Amphenol Industrial Operations, Riedon, Hammond Manufacturing, TDK-Lambda Americas Incorporated, Sensata- Crydom, Weidmiller, Finder Relays Incorporated, Mean Well USA Incorporated, and Switchcraft Incorporated are purchased.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (such as considering price, special features, administrative costs, and delivery time) to meet the Government’s needs.

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

As stated in paragraph 4 above, Littlefuse Incorporated, Phoenix Contact, Alltech Corporation, Amphenol Industrial Operations, Riedon, Hammond Manufacturing, TDK-Lambda Americas Incorporated, Sensata-Crydom, Weidmiller, Finder Relays Incorporated, Mean Well USA Incorporated, and Switchcraft Incorporated are the only brands that can meet U.S. Navy requirements. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov because it is estimated greater than $25,000.00.

7. Any other facts supporting the justification.

None.

8. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made.

As stated in paragraph 4 above, Littlefuse Incorporated, Phoenix Contact, Alltech Corporation, Amphenol Industrial Operations, Riedon, Hammond Manufacturing, TDK-Lambda Americas Incorporated, Sensata-Crydom, Weidmiller, Finder Relays Incorporated, Mean Well USA Incorporated, and Switchcraft Incorporated are the only brands that can meet U.S. Navy requirements.
