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, 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) currently has a requirement for the item(s) listed in Paragraph 3 of this document. The cables listed in Paragraph 3 are part of a TEMPALT and are SUBSAFE. The cables are proprietary to Teledyne D.G. O’Beiren (DGO); the government does not have a Technical Data Package (TDP) or rights sufficient for competition and Teledyne DGO has not been willing to sell the rights in the past.

These cables have certified by NAVSEA to be SUBSAFE and only Teledyne DGO is approved to supply. If another source for the cable were to be selected, those cables would have to be approved through another TEMPALT and be SUBSAFE certified, resulting in unacceptable project delay and potential compatibility issues.

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 the Teledyne DGO for the item(s) 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 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 DGO 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, Teledyne DGO is the only source that can meet this requirement.
