(LCAC) 103

1. Identification of the agency and the contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Sole Source Justification.”

This is a sole source justification. Contracting activity is the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001.

2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved.

This action will award a firm fixed price purchase order, on a sole source basis, to Accelerated Memory Production, Inc. 1317 E. Edinger Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92705, Cage Code 5PMP6.

3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency’s needs (including the estimated value).

The following items are being repaired:

ITEM PART NUMBER QTY

2.5” 500 GB MLC Industrial Temp 3800 Amp99l28 228

The Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. All material will be delivered within six (6) weeks after award of purchase order. 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)(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).

This procurement is sole source for the following reasons. NSWC PCD is the Systems Engineering Manager (SEM) for LCAC 100 C4N systems. The LCAC 100 C4N system is changing the internal hard drives of the single board computers (SBCs) to the Accelerated Memory Production, Inc (AMP INC) devices for the Command and Control (C2) of LCAC systems. This procurement is not suitable for full and open competition and it is in the best interest of the Government to acquire these items using a non-competitive procurement because the LCAC 100 will utilize the AMP INC hard drives as part of the new system baseline in production at the prime contractor. The hard drivers are in direct support of the LCAC 100 and meet the current baseline specifications. A third party hard drive would be required to match the

LCAC 100 requirements and would require additional testing. Utilizing a vendor other than AMP INC will require testing by both the LCAC 100 prime contractor and US Navy resulting in at least 6 weeks of delay (following receipt of drives) and increased cost.

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, Accelerated Memory Production, Incorporated is the only company that can meet the requirement. Additionally, this procurement action will be synopsized in the Government point of entry site 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.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, Accelerated Memory Production, Incorporated is the only company that can meet the requirement.
