This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures. 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.

4. Identification of the justification rationale 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). Application for brand name description FAR 6.302-1(c).

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) Hydrospace Laboratory currently has a need for the items listed in Paragraph 3 of this document for the duplication of a system that is currently in use. This specific brand and these specific pressures sensors duplicate those at the Naval Experimental Dive Unit (NEDU). In order to duplicate the specific NEDU lab, only this brand will meet the requirement. If another brand were selected it would not be a true duplication, resulting in a waste of Government time and money.

As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does expect significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement.

Therefore, it is in the Governments’ best interest to acquire the Druck brand.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b).

The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (such as considering price, special features, administrative costs) 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.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, Druck is the only brand that can meet the

Government’s needs.

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, Druck is the only brand that can meet this requirement.
