N0016725Q1024 Concurrent BPA Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification Memorandum for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Concurrent Technologies Inc. under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The procurement involves three specific computer hardware components: a 2.5" SATA Drive mounting kit, an RTM for use with PPB76 SBC, and a 6U CPCI SBC with 6-core Intel XEON e-2176M processor and 32GB DRAM.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on Concurrent Technologies being the only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary knowledge of the configurations. The equipment is described as a critical pathway component associated with a Total Ship Monitoring System (TSMS) onboard monitoring system, with specific hardware to be installed in a Monitoring Signal Data Converter. The BPA is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, and the procurement is targeted for use in monitoring subsystem engineering. The Contracting Officer, Barbaraann Witz, approved the sole source solicitation on 4/8/2025, with a response deadline of 12:00 PM EST on 23 April 2025.
