Dewesoft Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memorandum dated 1 July 2025 for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWCCD) SAP, seeking to procure a specific recording device. The procurement is for one 8-Channel XHS-UNI high-speed recorder (SIRIUS-XHS-8xUNI) from DEWESoft, LLC, with an estimated cost that is redacted. The justification for sole-source procurement is based on the brand name requirement, with Code 663 currently possessing several DEWESoft SIRIUS-series recorders and requiring a system that meets specific technical needs.

Key technical justifications include the XHS-UNI system being a probable replacement for Code 663's existing fleet of Pacific Instruments 5800 Series data recorders, with capabilities for 24-bit 1MHz sampling and 10Hz per channel sampling. The system is intended to continue research and validation efforts, can interface with existing DEWESoft SIRIUS series systems, and meets underwater explosive (UNDEX) dynamic pressure sampling and bit depth requirements. The procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold, with the contracting officer determining that only one source is reasonably available for this specific requirement.
