Brand name justification__Redacted.pdf

This is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification document for a naval procurement seeking specific radio and communications equipment from Freewave Technologies Inc. The solicitation covers 10 line items including ZumLink radios, power supply adapters, edge data platform licenses, expansion modules, antenna components, and RF connectors, with quantities ranging from 3 to 10 units per item. The total procurement is for the NSWC Corona Division, which requires these specific OEM components to integrate into an existing system, with engineers determining there is currently no alternative hardware that can meet the form, fit, and function requirements for their radio link power control system.

The document details substantial effort and cost analysis for potential alternative brand procurement, indicating that if an alternate brand were used, the government would incur significant labor costs for system redesign, documentation, software development, and testing. The total labor cost breakdown is provided in a detailed table covering research, system documentation, software development, and test phases. NSWC Corona Division has no immediate plans to compete future contracts for these supplies and will assess competition feasibility if another potential source emerges. The justification was digitally signed on May 28, 2025, by the contracting officer, certifying the procurement is in the best interest of the government.
