This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures. The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements.

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.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) currently has a requirement for the item listed in Paragraph 3. The requiring project partners heavily with Contractor support who have expertise and training on the equipment listed in Paragraph 3. The equipment listed in Paragraph 3 is the same equipment that the supporting Contractor is using at their manufacturing locations, making drawings easier to transport and draft. By purchasing the same machine, the Government is able to ensure that the CNC programs will be able to be loaded without requiring modification.

Additionally, the NSWC PCD “Shops” use this equipment and transferring critical work to be conducted there would be seamless. If another brand were to be selected, the part design/program might have to be modified, introducing unacceptable risk and delay to the rapid development requirement due to increased training. As such, it is in the Governments best interest to purchase the brand listed in Paragraph 3 of this document.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(a).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, reoccurring cost, administrative costs, engineering and redesign 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.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, the Okuma- GENOS is the only brand that can meet the Government’s needs.

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, the OKUMA – GENOS M560-5AX brand/model is the only brand that can meet the requirement.
