I. 16. Sole Source Justification_DDC_20230223 Rev 2 Redacted.pdf

This document is a sole source justification for the federal contract opportunity N6660422Q0386 for DDC CARD REPAIR with the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The justification requests approval to award the contract for repair services of damaged Display Data Computers to the original equipment manufacturer, Raytheon, without full and open competition due to the unique capabilities required. Key details include that Raytheon designed, developed, and currently maintains the DDC system, making them the only source able to provide repair services for damaged units within the required timeframe to support critical Navy operations. The justification provides analysis of Raytheon's exclusive data rights and intellectual property ownership as additional rationale for the sole source award.
