About this file
This is a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification memorandum for a purchase under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) from NSWCCD Code 881. The document justifies the procurement of 1,000 feet of South Bay cable stock SB-51845 for a submarine explosive bolt system at $30.45/foot, totaling $30,450 with an estimated shipping time of 28-30 weeks.
The justification explains that market research conducted by ISEA lead engineer identified only two of four companies (South Bay and Draka) that could meet minimum specifications. South Bay was selected as the sole source due to urgent fleet needs (with 4 active DFS issues) and more favorable terms - offering 1,000 feet at ~$30/foot versus Draka's minimum purchase requirement of 5,000 feet at ~$20/foot. The other two vendors could not meet hydro or jacket material requirements. The purchase will be made from South Bay Wire and Cable Company, LLC in Idyllwild, California, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(c).

Contracting Officer Signature Name / Title / Phone Date
The AN/BST-1 ISEA has identified the explosive bolt cable as a critical need item; the fleet has at least 4 active Major and Minor DFS’s due to this issue with more expected, and zero ready for issue in the supply system. Of the two companies that submitted quotes meeting minimum specifications, one (Draka) provided a shipping time estimate double that of the other (South Bay). Due to the urgent nature of this procurement South Bay has been identified as the only viable supplier. Additionally, the Draka minimum purchase amount was 5K-ft at ~$20 a foot, which is far more material than needed and ultimately much more expensive vise the South bay quote of 1K-ft at ~$30 a foot.
