Attachment 2 Brand Name Justification REDACTED.pdf

This is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination and Findings form for a sole source acquisition over $15,000 but not exceeding $350,000.

The procurement is for Varjo XR-4 Mixed Reality Headsets to be used as spare parts for the 2F323 LINK T-45 Mixed Reality Trainer currently deployed at NAS Meridian and NAS Kingsville. The project/task number is T-45 MR ITD (RD2F), and the customer is RD2F aka FAB LAB. The Government justifies sole source procurement based on the unique characteristics of the Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition, Base Station with Off-line Edition, which must align with existing training device specifications. The headsets are already in use on 26 copies of the trainer, and replacement units must match the current system configuration exactly to function properly. Additionally, the Varjo XR-4 is the only headset currently meeting all training and visual acuity requirements for the system. The determination notes that if equipment support is discontinued in the future, the Government would evaluate alternative technologies against system requirements, conduct testing, and select the best candidate. The form is completed by RD2F and signed by the contracting officer, satisfying FAR 13.101(b) requirements for sole source justification.
