This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures. The Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements.

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 items listed in Paragraph 3 of this document. The Leica System BLK ARC is being procured by NSWC PCD for integration onto a Boston Dynamics Spot Quadruped. The BLK ARC is a high resolution LIDAR that features an aiding optical sensing array and GNSS receiver and is pre-configured to interface with the Spot Robot directly. The Leica system is also capable of performing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) which is a key capability desired for the Spot robot. The BLK ARC features software APIs that supports the legacy Robotic Operating System 2 (ROS2) environment that NSWC engineers will be utilizing during development of the Robot’s autonomy solution. No other LIDAR system on the market features a similar combination of resolution, pre-configured Spot interface, native support for ROS2, and built in SLAM capability. Furthermore, Leica Geosystems only sells to the Department of Defense directly, not through distribution.

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 Leica Geosystems for the items 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, Leica Geosystems is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov.

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, Leica Geosystems is the only source that can meet this requirement.
