This is a Memorandum to the File documenting a sole source acquisition justification for a Department of the Navy procurement. The document details a non-competitive procurement from Chroma Systems Solutions Inc. located in Foothill Ranch, CA, for a Chroma AC Power Source (P/N: 61609) with a requirement for test equipment and troubleshooting software. The justification is based on the "Brand Name" procurement method, noting that multiple power supply NSNs require these specific AC power sources, and the developed software can only be supplied by this vendor.

The procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold, with the technical justification emphasizing that multiple test equipment quotes have been submitted from various distributors, but only Chroma can provide the complete test equipment with the necessary troubleshooting software. The document indicates that using alternative test equipment would require a complete software overhaul, significant man-hour labor, and licensing fees. The acquisition is digitally certified by Kenneth Speer and Amy Haworth on 07/09/2025, with an anticipated award date of 08/18/2025.
