The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel.

This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels, but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.

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)(1), 10 U.S.C.

2304(d)(1)(B). Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B).

NSWC PCD provides the depot for the Fleet-procured and PMS 408-supported Shark Navigator systems. The Shark Marine Navigator was procured by both these entities to stem the gap between the MK 15 Mod 1 Underwater Imaging System (UIS) fielded in 2006 and the procurement of a long term STRIDENT solution. These kits are required to perform the necessary repairs on EOD Group TWO (EODGRU TWO) systems for 4QFY24 into 1QFY25. The need for these parts was discovered during routine maintenance and need to be replaced by NSWC PCD technicians prior to shipping items back to the Fleet.

This procurement is sole source for the following reasons. Shark Marine Technologies Incorporate is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for these systems and has not authorized any other vendor or manufacturer to provide spare or repair parts. The required parts all are proprietary to Shark Marine.

In addition, this configuration of the Shark Navigator has both acoustic and magnetic signatures and trends on file to help inform tactical decisions, and therefore the vendor parts must be used to ensure these signatures do not vary greatly from the trend lines across the systems. EOD teams need confidence in their systems and a set configuration when entering into Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Missions is essential. As the OEM, Shark Marine is the only company with the in-house resident knowledge to accurately provide any consistency in product and parts. An alternate source may introduce new or change existing parameters that may be detrimental to the operation of the Navigator. Therefore, it is imperative that this procurement is awarded to Shark Marine for repairs immediately.

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 (such as considering price, special features, administrative costs) 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, Shark Marine Technologies Incorporated is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs.

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, Shark Marine Technologies Incorporated is the only source that can meet this requirement.
