SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD MEMO

FROM:

CODE: 863

SUBJECT: Sole Source/Brand Name Justification / Limited Source Justification for Use of Other than Full &

Open Competition for an Acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)

I. BACKGROUND

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

3. This memorandum is derived from Enclosure 3, Department of Navy Simplified Acquisition Procedures Guide (April 2018) and is only applicable to acquisitions under the SAT.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE (include manufacture/sole source name and address) This request includes a coordinate measurement machine (CMM) and supporting hardware, software, and training for the CMM. This equipment will be used to determine the dimensional accuracy of captive and free running model appendages and hardware, including classified propulsors. All items described are require only 1 each of each item. Supporting hardware includes a table for the CMM, a desktop Windows 10 computer with keyboard and monitor, a probe kit, a power cord, a probe adapter and a tool changer rack. The software includes Calypso metrology software with PiWeb Reporting and Curve/Freeform scanning. Required delivery date is prior to September 31st, 2022. Estimated cost is .

III. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL & OPEN COMPETITION

In order to streamline in-house metrology processes, use of the most intuitive and streamlined software for CMM programming is ideal. This will reduce the labor associated with performing tolerance checks on parts, especially when checks must be performed intuitive and easy to use from a group of CMM users. In addition, the Calypso software supports exporting metrology data that can be imported to PolyWorks, which is software that Code 863 already uses for metrology purposes. The capability to share data between these different software packages will make part tolerance checks much easier to compare to existing data.

A. BRAND NAME:

Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

As mentioned above, the Calypso software is recommended as being intuitive and easy to use, which will make software offerings. The

NSWCCD Sole Source/Brand Name Justification SAT rev 1 Effective September 2020 purpose of this SAP is to reduce the labor associated with performing tolerance checks on parts while improving the tolerances which can be checked. In addition, the ability to have data compatibility between software being used by the government is important to ensure all part data can be compared, regardless of what equipment was used to measure it.
