About this file
This is a Justification for Sole Source (Simplified Procedures - MPT to ≤ SAT) for a Navy procurement of equipment and materials related to the Stewards of the Sea (SOTS) public outreach program.
The procurement is restricted to Vanguard as the sole source supplier. Vanguard's point of contact is Cindy Asebedo (1-800-433-1334 ext 104, casebedo@vanguardmil.com), located at 2440 Impala Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92010. The supplies required include equipment and materials for at-sea training and testing related to the Navy's environmental SOTS program, which provides public information on environmental impacts during naval at-sea training activities. Specific items include STEWIE mascot outfit replacements and two new exterior suites, two graphic layouts (one retractable informational rollup and one outdoor hangable, reusable backdrop with SOTS branding), plastic waste processing (PWP) handsheets, and trifold brochures about marine mammals of the U.S. East Coast and Gulf of America. The justification cites patent, copyright, and proprietary data restrictions as the basis for sole source selection. The Navy registered requisite trademark marks with the Patent Trademark Office beginning in 2015 and determined that Vanguard was the only licensee with a comprehensive product portfolio meeting program needs. Vanguard holds a "Market Share License" under the Navy Trademark & Licensing Program, making it the exclusive vendor for SOTS-branded products within its license scope. The contracting activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department, with the requiring activity identified as U.S. Fleet Forces Branch Head, Environmental Resources and Planning (N4651).

Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 and toddlers through high school age and was IAW STEM initiatives that related to the Program. There was one licensee that provided the proper Portfolio of products that fit our needs. They developed products over the years and made substantial investments in the Program. It was determined based on that commitment and on market share analysis that this would be a “Market Share
License” and that vendor would be the only the licensee for the Program. The only exception would be products that they could not provide.
Market share licenses within the Navy Trademark & Licensing Program & the Naval Aviation Trademark Program only are in effect for a small number of licensees on specific license type/products, approximately 1%. These are done for various reasons but ultimately for the Promotion and Protection of the Mark as specified in DoDD 5535.09. In this case, both market share analyses and product investment needs were considered. With respect to those “Market Share Licenses”, they are the only vendors that can be used for product that falls within the license. In the case of the Stewards of the Sea Program, that vendor is Vanguard.
