About this file

This document is a Sole Source Memorandum from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NSWC), Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division, justifying a direct purchase from Persistent Systems LLC. The procurement involves acquiring 12 WR-EM-System Embedded Module Systems, 12 RF-2151 Embedded High-Power S-Band RF Modules, and additional related electronic components for the Rollaway project, which involves a shipping container for a motorized beach cart/crawler for unmanned surface vessel demonstrator crafts.

The sole source justification emphasizes that Persistent Systems is the exclusive manufacturer of these specific parts, with no authorized distributors. The Contracting Officer determined the order represents the best value, considering factors like price, recurring costs, and administrative expenses. The total acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures, with all equipment to be delivered within four weeks after order award. The document highlights that alternative parts would require costly testing and qualification, and potentially risk damaging the Rollaway system's operational parameters, thus necessitating direct procurement from the original equipment manufacturer.

Subj: SOLE SOURCE MEMORANDUM TO ACQUIRE EMBEDDED ELECTRONIC MODULES FROM

PERSISTENT SYSTEMS (ERP No: 1301276875)

1. Identification of the agency and the contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Limited 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 (Contracts

Department Code 02).

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 Persistent Systems LLC, 601

West 26th Street, Suite 905, New York, NY 10001, to acquire embedded electronic modules for the Rollaway project. The NSWC PCD Rollaway project requires a Flat High-Performance and Gen 3 Router for a shipping container for motorized beach cart/crawler for unmanned surface vessel demonstrator crafts. Rollaway project needs

WR-EM-System, RF-2151, WR-EM-HS-09, WR-5100, RF-2150, ANT-4001, ANT-2040, ANT-2003, CBL-DATA-

2013, CBL-DATA-2019, BAT-06 and BAT-11 for a shipping container for motorized beach cart/crawler for unmanned surface vessel demonstrator crafts.

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

The following items are being acquired:

Line Item Qty

1 WR-EM-System Embedded Module System 12

RF-2151 Emb Hi-Pwr S Band RF Module

WR-EM-HS-09 Emb Module Heat Sink

4 WR-5100 Wave Relay® MPU5 & Twist Lock Battery * 2

5 RF-2150 High Power Sband RF Module (2.2-2.5GHz) 2

6 ANT-4001 GPS 13dBi (3.3V Active) SMA-M Stub Ant 2

7 ANT-2040 Ant Hpol S-Band Dis 1.4 dBi GN 2

8 ANT-2003 S 2.1-2.5GHz 2.15dBi RP-M Sprg Ant 4

9 CBL-DATA-2013 MPU5-D to IP67 Ether-F 11.5\" 2

10 CBL-DATA-2019 MPU5-A to USB-Eth converter 18.5\" 2

11 BAT-06 Gen5 Lithium Ion Twist Lock Battery 2

12 BAT-11 2-Bay Desktop Battery Charger 2

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. All equipment will be delivered no later than four (4) weeks after award of the order.

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).

The NSWC PCD Rollaway project requires the parts and items listed above to enhance and improve the operating capabilities of the system. T h e parts being acquired are exclusively made by Persistent Systems. There are no authorized distributors of these items. As the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of these parts, Persistent

Systems is the only company with the required data rights and in-house resident knowledge to provide the embedded modules with the required capabilities required by the Government. Use of alternative parts would be more costly as it would require additional tools and labor to test and qualify alternatives. Additionally, use of alternate equipment may introduce new or changing existing parameters that could damage or affect the proper operation of the

Rollaway system. Therefore, it is imperative that these embedded modules are acquired from Persistent Systems.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 8.404(d).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, reoccurring cost, administrative costs, engineering and redesign 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.

As explained in paragraph 4 above, Persistent Systems is the only source for these critical items. Additionally, this requirement will be posted on the Government Point of Entry website, 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 explained in paragraph 4 above, Persistent Systems is the only source for these critical items.
