N0025325P9001 Sole Source.pdf

This document is a Justification for Sole Source Acquisition for the MEMSense 3025 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). NUWC Keyport requires the MEMSense 3025 IMU to upgrade the current MEMSense H3 IMU, addressing critical parts obsolescence issues. The specific product is the MEMSense MS-IMU3025M Inertial Measurement Unit with technical specifications including 5.0 to 30.0 VDC supply voltage, 0.85 watts power, and operation temperature range of -40 to 85°C.

The justification highlights several key reasons for sole sourcing from MEMSense, LLC: direct replacement with minimal hardware modifications, software compatibility with existing tools, mitigation of obsolescence concerns, and no suitable alternatives identified through market research. The procurement is critical to maintaining a production and delivery schedule for a sensitive international partnership. The total estimated purchase is for 30 units, with the manufacturer located in Rapid City, South Dakota, and the MEMSense quote number SO/01151 capturing the cost details.
