SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

Determination Memorandum for Sole Source Acquisitions Over $10,000 but not Exceeding $250,000

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM OR SERVICE, WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE DETERMINATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM OR SERVICE PROVIDER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. THIS FORM MAY BE USED IN LIEU OF THE DETERMINATION DESCRIBED IN FAR 13.106. THE CUSTOMER SHALL

PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER:

TBD

2. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER:

3. ESTIMATED AMOUNT:

4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:

The Government requires a Brunner CLS-P force-feedback joystick, P/N GER.1141.V004. The device will be part of an experimental mixed reality trainer being developed aboard NAWCTSD Orlando for Chief Naval Air Training. The joystick provides the trainer with an active control stick with force feedback in order to increase the realism of the trainer's control system.

5. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED:

The Brunner CLS-P force feedback joystick provides 25 degrees of motion in both the pitch and roll directions and up to 36.9 ft-lbs of force feedback, the strongest feedback currently available from a commercial device. Interface to the simulation is through USB. The Brunner device driver allows force feedback profiles to be tailored and quickly changed. The specific model being purchased is provided with a threaded fitting to accept any control stick and grip; this allows NAWCTSD to install an aircraft-specific control stick, giving the trainer the ability to replicate any number of aircraft with a single base joystick device. This is the only currently available commercial product to offer this combination of features. The Brunner CLS-P joystick was selected based on this set of unique features.

6. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT MORE THEN ONE

SOURCE HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED:

This is a brand-name justification for the Brunner CLS-P joystick. The device is available directly from the manufacturer, Brunner, and a limited number of US distributors.

7. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED:

No specific action can be identified at this time. The Brunner CLS-P is the most capable and flexible force feedback joystick identified in the marketplace today. However, the Government will continuously evaluate new offerings.
