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 with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels, but not exceeding the commercial acquisition threshold of $7,500,000 per FAR 13.003(c)(1)(ii). This purchase will be funded with FY22 OPN funds.

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) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC PCD) has an immediate need for the cable kits listed in Section 3. Hydroid is the OEM and only seller of these items. If another vendor were to be selected, the vendor would be required to become familiar with the project requirements and have to develop the necessary cables. Those cables would then have to be vetted for durability and capability. This would result in significant delays to the project as well as a large increase in cost to the Government.

As such, the government does not expect significant savings through competition and it is more advantageous to the Government to award on a sole source basis to the Hydroid for the cables listed in Section 3 of this document.

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 (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.

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

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, Hydroid is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov because it is estimated greater than $25,000.00.

Any other facts supporting the justification.

None.

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, Hydroid is the only source that can meet this requirement.
