SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

Determination Memorandum for Sole Source Acquisitions Over $10,000 but not Exceeding $250,000

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM OR SERVICE, WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE DETERMINATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM OR SERVICE PROVIDER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. THIS FORM MAY BE USED IN LIEU OF THE DETERMINATION DESCRIBED IN FAR 13.106. THE CUSTOMER SHALL

PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER:

1301323018

2. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER:

Combined Arms Virtual Environment (CAVE)

3. ESTIMATED AMOUNT:

$115,293.66

4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:

MVRsimulation-Virtual Reality Scene Generator(VRSG) Maintenance (2-3 viewports): NAWDC Qty 6; EWTGLANT Qty 4; EWTGLANT220 Qty 2; EWTGPAC Qty 4; MVRsimulation VR RSG(single viewport): NAWDC Qty 11; EWTGPAC Qty 6; EWTGLANT Qty 6; EWTGLANT220 Qty 4;

NUWC Qty 4; MVRSimulations-Terrain Tools for ArcGIS Maintenance: Qty 2

This collection of software licenses and maintenance provides a comprehensive virtual combat training environment for all three CAVE training sites. BSI MACE generates the tactical scenarios, while MVRsimulation's VRSG renders the 3D visuals on systems ranging from single desktop trainers to large, immersive domes. This allows for realistic, cost-effective training in everything from flight simulation and electronic warfare to coordinating joint air and ground operations.

5. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED:

MVRSimulations is the only seller of virtual reality scene generation software and terrain tools that has been configured to work with the CAVE trainer and other proprietary software utilized in the CAVE that is owned by Battlespace Simulations, Inc. and Immersive Display Solutions, Inc.

Procuring this software and support allows the government to maintain a single point of technical contact for the aforementioned software and how their software integrates with other CAVE system software. Utilizing any other source would lead to downtime for the CAVE trainer as a new vendor would have to learn how the CAVE trainer works and how to integrate their software with the system and other software vendors.

6. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT MORE THEN ONE

SOURCE HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED:

Market research revealed the META-VR VRSG and Terrain Tools can only be procured through one company, MVRSimulation. No other contractor can provide maintenance to this software and a total system re-design of the CAVE devices would be required to replace the METAVR products and interface re-design would be required for the replacement of BSI Modern Air Combat Environment and Scalable solutions.

7. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED:

There is no further action the Government may take at this time to remove barriers to competition. Any other action would require the total replacement or redesign of the system. This would not be in the best interest of the Government in terms of cost, schedule, and resources.
