BNJ 4163 Barnfind_redacted.pdf

This document is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification (SAM) form for procuring Barnfind Technologies fiber optic transceiver equipment for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NSWC) Corona. The procurement includes 20 Barnfind BNC TX/RX SFP ports for transceivers, multiple CWDM single mode transceiver modules with varying data rates and distances, a 16 channel mux/de-mux in LGX box, empty chassis, and other related equipment. The total quantity ranges from 3-12 units across different part numbers.

The justification highlights that the Barnfind Technologies fiber transceiver equipment has been specifically selected, tested, and verified to work in harsh environments for the Weapons Impact Scoring Set (WISS) systems. The document notes that alternative solutions would require extensive labor to rewrite system software, new drivers, and approval processes. The government determined that maintaining compatibility with existing systems and reducing operational/maintenance costs justifies selecting this specific brand. NSWC Corona currently has no plans to compete future contracts for these supplies but will assess feasibility if another potential source emerges.
