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. This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels, but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.00.

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.

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Application for brand name description FAR 6.302-1(c).

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) currently has a requirement for the 2 trailers listed in Paragraph 3 of this document. This specified make, model, and part number are required to maintain compatibility with the USV vessel’s approved transport and launch configuration. The trailer has been engineered and validated to support the vessel’s weight distribution, hull interface points, and operational launch/recovery procedures.

Use of an alternate or similar product could introduce safety risks, require additional engineering certification, and create configuration management issues within the Navy’s logistics and maintenance systems.

As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does expect significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement.

Therefore, it is in the Governments’ best interest to acquire the MYCO brand.

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

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (such as considering price, special features, administrative costs) 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, MYCO is the only brand that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov because it is estimated greater than $25,000.00.

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, MYCO is the only brand that can meet this requirement.
