About this file

This is a Sole Source Justification document issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD), located at 110 Vernon Ave., Panama City, FL 32407. The document authorizes a firm fixed price contract award to Teledyne Instruments for one component: Part Number 1535154-103, a Receptor Assembly (RCPT ASSY 9#20 AWG/4FO), with a quantity of 6 units. The acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) and FAR 6.302-1, establishing that only Teledyne Instruments is a responsible source capable of meeting the government's needs. The specified component is the only item approved for use by the Technical Warrant Holder in the configuration controlled system; substituting another vendor's items would require system retesting and reverification, resulting in significant project delays and additional costs. Teledyne Instruments distributes these items only directly to the government, not through distribution channels. The Contracting Officer determined that awarding on a sole source basis represents the best value and lowest overall cost alternative, considering price, special features, and administrative costs. No market research was conducted among schedule holders, as Teledyne Instruments is identified as the sole source capable of meeting this requirement.

Part # Description Qty.

This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures. Redacted. The

Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. Redacted.

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) - 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) currently has a requirement for the item(s) listed in Paragraph 3 of this document. The items listed in Paragraph

3 of this document are the only items that have been approved for use by the Technical Warrant

Holder in the configuration controlled system. If another vendor’s items were to be selected, the system would have to be retested and reverified, resulting in significant project delay and additional cost. Teledyne Instruments does not sell these items through distribution, only direct 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 Teledyne Instruments for the item(s) listed in Paragraph 3 of this document.

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 (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) 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.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, Teledyne Instruments is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs. Redacted.

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, Teledyne Instruments is the only source that can meet this requirement.
