10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) - 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 Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement to procure SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) diver transceivers. This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reason: Ocean Technology Systems (OTS) is the only approved source of supply for the parts under NAVSEA Source Control Drawing #7648324.

These are the only items approved for this use by the SDV Configuration Manager. Only OTS, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has the ability to supply the parts manufactured by their company and certifies them for service. As such OTS is the only source capable of meeting this requirement.

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.

This requirement will be syhnopsized on the Contract Opportunities website at sam.gov per FAR Part 5.2. No additional market research was conducted for the reasons discussed in paragraph 4 above, for any company other than OTS to provide the products.

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, OTS is the only source that can meet the requirement.
