This is a Memorandum to File documenting a decision to restrict competition for a commercial acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for AMS PID 101-0041. The sole-source contractor is Systecon NA, located in Jupiter, Florida, with CAGE Code 5PEQ1. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is procuring software training courses on a sole-source basis: one each of "OPUS Basic," "OPUS Advanced," "SIMLOX Basic," and "SIMLOX Advanced" courses. The estimated contract value is redacted in the document. The procurement action will include options on the contract for the entire period of performance, with specific dates and values also redacted.

The justification for sole-source procurement is based on brand-name requirements. The memorandum states that Systecon is the developer and owner of the OPUS and SIMLOX software, which is critical to the Product Support and Logistics community. Training from other companies would result in significant delays and inefficiencies due to differences between the OEM version used at Crane and versions used by other industries and suppliers. The Contracting Officer, Kelly Kapanzhi (0251), has certified that only one source is reasonably available for this procurement in accordance with RFO FAR 12.102(a) and RFO DFARS 212, thereby justifying the limitation on competition.
