This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying a sole source procurement for AMD/Xilinix licenses under the simplified acquisition threshold. The procurement involves specific AMD Xilinix licenses for HDMI, Tri-Mode Ethernet, and Ethernet IP blocks in support of the ISTALKER program, which will be used within Vivado FPGA design suite application tools for the AN/SAY3 (V)2 Set Top Box Circuit Card Assembly.

The justification is based on brand name requirements, noting that these pre-designed, validated IP components are critical to maintaining the project's schedule. The document indicates that procuring these licenses will significantly reduce development time and engineering costs. If these IP blocks were not purchased, the government would incur approximately eight months of additional labor and schedule delays. The total dollar value of the procurement is redacted, and the procurement is being conducted through the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command with a planned award date of September 30, 2025.
