About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification memorandum issued by Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) in Panama City, Florida for a firm fixed price order to acquire Mimaki 2D printer maintenance support.
The acquisition encompasses two line items: (1) SLA-UCJV330 PartsPlus Parts and Phone Support covering one print head (Part Number 192123) for a special order nonstock item, and (2) one year of technician on-site labor and travel warranty (Part Number 59251) that includes parts, labor, and travel but excludes consumables and user error-related issues such as head strikes. The total contract value is estimated below $350,000 and will be funded with Navy Working Capital Funds (NWCF). The acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures; the purchase amount is less than $25,000 and will not be synopsized on sam.gov.
The justification invokes FAR 6.103-1(d) for brand-name descriptions, establishing that Mimaki is the only authorized provider capable of meeting the Government's needs as the original equipment manufacturer and sole authorized provider for repair and maintenance agreements for Mimaki brand equipment. No additional market research was conducted given this sole-source justification. The Contracting Officer will determine prior to award that the order represents best value and the lowest overall cost alternative considering technical factors, price, and past performance.
