About this file
This is a memorandum recommending other than full and open competition for a federal procurement.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division seeks to acquire thirty (30) portable rugged displays, part number PD-F115A-DP, manufactured by Crystal Image Technologies, with a total estimated cost and 30-day delivery required after receipt of order. The requiring activity determined that the requested material represents the minimum requirements of the government. The current Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) device has reached End-of-Life status, and this replacement KVM will serve a critical function when a server in the specified infrastructure fails. The device must include specific connectivity ports: VGA, display, DVI, and multiple USB connectors. This hardware was identified as the only solution that successfully completed the integration and testing process and is compatible with current hardware and software systems.
Market research confirmed that portable rugged displays with the specified form, fit, and function are not available as complete units through General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedules; however, authorized resellers exist on Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP). The recommendation asserts that development and production costs to create alternative equipment would exceed stated thresholds, with material costs alone approximating a redacted amount plus significant expenditures for labor, research, and new infrastructure. The Contracting Officer has determined that only one or limited sources are reasonably available, justifying the single-source procurement approach.
