About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification Memorandum for a firm fixed price contract award to Persistent Systems, LLC (CAGE 4YBU2), located in New York, NY 10001, by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD), 110 Vernon Ave., Panama City, FL 32407. The contract procures 21 line items of Wave Relay® radio communication equipment and associated accessories, including MPU5 units and batteries, GPS antennas, PTT systems, RF modules, speaker systems, cables, and protective cases. Quantities range from 1 to 24 units per line item, with country of origin varying among the United States, Mexico, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. The acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures.
The justification for sole source award is based on Persistent Systems being the Original Equipment Manufacturer and sole U.S. distributor of the specified items, which are required as replacement components for existing Government-owned systems. The contracting officer determined that only Persistent Systems products meet the Government's needs, as alternative brands would risk incompatibility, equipment damage, and performance degradation. No market research was conducted among schedule holders due to the technical requirement for OEM components. The Government does not anticipate significant cost savings through competition and expects unacceptable delays if competitive procurement were pursued. The requirement was synopsized in sam.gov, and the contracting officer determined the award represents best value and the lowest overall cost alternative meeting the agency's needs.

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.
4. Identification of the justification rationale and, if applicable, this acquisition is conducted under the authority of FAR 12.102, Restricting Competition for Commercial Acquisitions Below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The determination has been made that only one source is reasonably available to meet the Government's minimum needs.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement for the items listed in Paragraph 3 of this document. Persistent Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the items listed and are the sole distributor within the United States.
Only the Persistent Systems items listed in this document will meet the Governments requirements as these items are being used as replacement components in existing systems. If another brand were to be selected, the components may not interface with existing Government Owned Persistent Systems hardware, potentially resulting in equipment damage and performance degradation.
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 award on a sole source basis to Persistent Systems for the items listed in Paragraph 3 of this document.
5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 12.102(a).
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.) meeting 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, Persistent Systems is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov.
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, Persistent Systems is the only source that can meet this requirement.
