About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification Memorandum from the Naval Sea Systems Command's Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), requesting to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Teledyne Instruments Inc. (dba D.G. O'Brien) for five specific SDV MK11 Cable Assemblies. The cable assemblies include various configurations such as ITAR C/A connectors, antenna GPS cables, and thruster cables, with each line item having a unique part number and one-unit quantity. The total procurement will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures, with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels but not exceeding $250,000, and items to be submitted within 44 weeks after order award.
The justification for sole source procurement is based on the unique manufacturing specifications of these cable assemblies, which were custom-manufactured by Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc. (D.G. O'Brien) specifically for the SDV. The document emphasizes that D.G. O'Brien is the only manufacturer approved on the drawings for these cable assemblies, and alternative manufacturers have not been vetted or approved for substitution. The government determined that the additional costs and time required to identify, evaluate, test, and document alternative cable assemblies would be prohibitively expensive, thereby justifying the sole source award to Teledyne Instruments Inc.

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 of $250,000.00. The items will be submitted no later than 44 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) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1.
The NSWC PCD Code S44 has a requirement to acquire SDV MK11 Cable Assemblies. This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reason(s): The MK11 cable assemblies referenced in the subject purchase request were custom manufactured by Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc., doing business as D.G. O’Brien for the SDV. D.G. O’Brien is the only manufacturer approved on the drawings for each of these cable assemblies. Other manufacturers of similar cable assemblies have not been vetted or approved for substitution. The additional costs and time delays for the Government to identify and evaluate another cable;
perform the required field-testing; and produce the required documentation and drawings would be prohibitive. As such, Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc. dba D.G. O’Brien is the only source capable of meeting this requirement.
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.
The purchase amount is greater than $25,000 and will be synopsized on the Contract Opportunities website at sam.gov. No additional market research was conducted for the reasons discussed in paragraph 4 above, for any company other than Teledyne Instruments Inc. dba D.G.
O’Brien to provide the products.
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 Inc. dba D.G. O’Brien is the only source that can meet the requirement.
