B2 Sole source- ClearCom-Filled_out_signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record (MFR) documenting a sole-source acquisition for a Clear-Com FreeSpeak Edge wireless intercom system for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF). The system is required to enable communication for teams working in loud, complex, and potentially hazardous operational environments where direct voice communication is challenging. The document justifies a single-source procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, citing the need to expand an existing Clear-Com infrastructure and the Median Matrix being the only brand compatible with the current EHX programming environment.

Key procurement details include a required delivery date of August 1, 2025, with the date of requirement first identified as October 31, 2024. The acquisition is for the Clear-Com Median Matrix system, which will allow multiple independent work teams to communicate on separate talk groups in challenging operational settings. The procurement will be handled by the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, with interested parties able to submit capability responses by May 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334290 for Communications Equipment Manufacturing, with a large business size standard of 800 employees.
