1. In accordance with reference (a) the following is submitted .

a. A brief description of the intended use or application .

NSWC IHEODTD requires High- Fidelity Modeling and Simulation capabilities to support current Research , Development , Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) operations . The contractor will use proprietary methodology and high fidelity computational tools to predict IR spectral plume signatures created by energetic materials in an engine . The data will be compared with experimental results. The effort will be broken into two tasks . The first task is a direct comparison between CHARM and the contractor ' s high fidelity code using specifications provided by NSWC IHEODTD . The second task will be the full characterization of a plume ' s signature and will take into consideration engineering designs provided by NSWC IHEODTD . The nature of the simulation and modelling work involves complex data analysis and multiple data sources . The schedule of the overall project is dependent on the rapid resolution and analysis of the data provided . The delivery date for the initial delivery of the data from the Craft Tee Corporation to support low minimum smoke efforts is 1 June 2017 .

b . Description of the critical or unique features (patent , copyright , proprietary , etc . ) , which show no other item or source , can satisfy the Government's need .

CRAFT Tech has developed and maintains proprietary High-Fidelity Modeling and Simulation capabilities which meet NSWC-IHEODTD ' s requirements in the fields of computational fluid dynamics (CFO) , multi-phase combustion , turbulence, shock physics , explosions and detonations , plume phenomenology , radiation transport , high performance computing , etc . CRAFT Tech ' s computational methodology for performing such predictions was developed under the sponsorship of various organizations from the Intelligence Community , the Department of Defense (DoD) as well as the Sandia National Laboratories . This methodology employs proprietary codes such as CRAFT CFO and SIG3D to provide M&S results. In a similar effort for high fidelity modeling it was determined that CRAFT Tech proprietary code was the only suitable approach for

"Source Selection Information-See FAR 2.101 and 3.104."

I I the current project needs of NSWC IHEODTD ' s Research Department. Use of these proprietary methods and capabilities allow for compatibility with previous approach and savings to the Government due to the fact there would be no duplication of efforts.

c . Describe the alternatives reviewed , which lead to the conclusion that only this particular source or product can meet the requirement.

NSWC IHEODTD's Research Department maintains in-depth knowledge of the high fidelity modeling industry by attending M&S symposia, researcher interactions and overall M&S community involvement. This includes insight into current state of the art simulation capabilities and the companies that supply these capabilities.

Based on its knowledge and expertise and the requirement imposed by the Sponsor , NSWC IHEODTD' s Research Department has determined that no companies other than CRAFT Tech have the knowledge and technical capability required to provide M&S services. Furthermore the M&S is proprietary to CRAFT Tech .

The above information must be certified as to the accuracy of the facts and representations contained in the request. {NAVSUPINST 4200.85C Chapter 4, Paragraph 5 (e)}

Technical Representat i ve Department Head or Designee

The above facts have been reviewed and approved for sole source procurement and the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
