The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements.

This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels, but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000.00. All material will be delivered no later than eight (8) weeks after award of the order. The contract action will be funded with FY18 Operation & Maintenance, Navy (O&MN) funds.

4. Identification of the justification rationale (see FAR 8.405-6(a) and (b)) and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service.

10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1. The items being purchased were specifically tested and evaluated against the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) technical requirements as provided on the LCAC C4N System Baseline Configuration 4 (SBC4) product specification during the product’s initial prototyping and evaluation phase. These components are used in a Build-to-Print drawing package and if another vendor’s product is chosen at this point, there will be a redesign of the printed circuit board, chassis, and cable assemblies. No other source for these components currently exists. Developing another source for these items would be cost and schedule prohibitive.

Developing another source would be expensive as there would be significant reoccurring engineering and testing costs (environmental) and time associated with the effort estimated at $150,000 adding an additional twelve month lead time.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 8.404(d).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, reoccurring cost, administrative costs, engineering and redesign costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

This requirement is less than $25,000 and does not require synopsis on the Federal Business Opportunities (FEDBIZOPPS) website per FAR 5.2. The synopsis expressed the Government’s intent to contract on a sole source basis. The synopsis provided instructions for offeror(s), wishing to qualify items for future procurements.

7. Any other facts supporting the justification: None.

8. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made.

As stated in paragraph 4 above, BTC is the only company that can meet the requirement.
