NSWCCD Sole Source/Brand Name Justification Under SAT Rev 4 Template Effective July 2024

USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION LESS THAN

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD MEMO

FROM:

CODE: 7550

TO: Code 02 SUBJECT: Brand Name 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.
