Subj: SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION MEMORANDUM FOR SDV USA OMAC PARTS (PR 1301003412)

1. Identification of the agency and the contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Sole Source Justification.”

This is a sole source justification. Contracting activity is NSWC-PCD, Code 024, 110 Vernon Ave., Panama City, FL, 32407.

2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved.

This action will award a firm fixed price contract to UDT Machine, 2304 Grant Avenue, Panama City, FL 32405 for the items in Section 3.

3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency’s needs (including the estimated value).

This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total estimated value greater than $25,000. 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 purchase will be funded with Navy Working Capital funds.

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) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) Seal Delivery Program has an urgent need to produce four USA OMAC MOD1D vehicles. UDT has the tooling and expertise to fabricate the parts, test the parts to the required OQE (Objective Quality Evidence), and has experience with the requirements, thus lowering the risk to overall SDV program cost and schedule. If another company were to be selected, extensive qualification and validation testing would have to be performed, resulting in significant delays and cost over-runs.

As such, the government does not expect significant savings through competition and it is more advantageous to the Government to award on a sole source basis to UDT for the items in Section 3.

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, UDT is the only source 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, UDT is the only source that can meet this requirement.
