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 $250,000.00. All items will be delivered no later than 16 weeks upon receipt of order.

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).

Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1(c). The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement to purchase replacement seals for the Seal Delivery Vehicle (SDV). Teledyne Technologies Incorporated is the Original Equipment Manufacturer of this part. These parts are the only parts approved for use with the SDV. It would take approximately 6 months to review, test, and approve other manufacturers’ parts for use with the SDV, which would negatively impact mission timelines. 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 Government’s best interest to acquire the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated brand for this acquisition.

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 (considering price, special features, administrative 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, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated is the only brand that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will not be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov because it is estimated to be less 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, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated is the only product that can meet this requirement.
