About this file
This document is a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the purchase of HPE SimpliVity nodes and compute nodes for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD).
The justification states that the HPE SimpliVity and Arbiter programs are proprietary and can only be purchased from HPE or their authorized resellers. The SimpliVity nodes and compute nodes are critical to the functioning of the NSWCCD's R&D network, and maintaining the warranty service is imperative to support optimal functioning and immediate access to repairs. The Contracting Officer has approved the sole source procurement pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c). The related federal contract opportunity is for a 1-year support renewal covering 5 SimpliVity nodes and 2 compute nodes for NSWCCD Code 60, with the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command as the procuring agency.

NSWCCD Sole Source/Brand Name Justification Under SAT Rev 3 Template Effective February 2023
1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.
HPE Support Maintenance can only be purchased from the OEM or their authorized resellers. HPE OmniStack and Arbiter are two proprietary programs required to run on the SimpliVity device and only HPE (and their authorized resellers) are authorized to work on these programs.
3. Other Reasons:
The HPE SimpliVity nodes and compute nodes play a critical role in the functioning of the NSWCCD RDT&E network. We (Code 10411) utilize HPE SimpliVity to provide the needed computing resources for many of our core servers and services. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain their warranty service to support optimal functioning and immediate access to repair, if needed.
IV. CERTIFICATIONS & APPROVALS
A. Technical/Requirements Certification: I certify that the facts and representation under my cognizance, which are included in this justification, are complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief.
B. Certification/Approval per FAR 13.501: Upon the basis of the above justification, I hereby approve the solicitation of the proposed procurement(s) described herein using other than full and open competition, pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c).
