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

A. BRAND NAME:

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

1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

3. Other Reasons:

B. SOLE SOURCE (select all that apply)

1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.

The requested equipment from sole source vendor Concurrent Technology is a critical pathway component associated with onboard data collection and analysis for Total Ship Monitoring System (TSMS) onboard LOS ANGELES, SEAWOLF, OHIO, and VIRGINA Class submarines equipped with Acoustic Rapid Commercial Off the Shelf Insertion (ARCI). This is to be installed in Monitoring Signal Data Converter (P/N CV-3399A/BYQ) for processing Noise and Vibration Monitoring data as part of Monitoring Subsystem on SSBN. The hardware configuration is specified by Monitoring Subsystem Temporary Engineering Change TEC-U090. These are Proprietary Telemetry Protocol units and substitutions are not approved, especially the Intel CPU components.

Failure to procure the requested equipment will prevent real-time data collection during acoustic trials, which will result in a loss of data due to limited ship availability.

2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

Concurrent Technologies is the only OEM and distributor as they hold proprietary knowledge of the configurations.

3. Other Reasons: Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.

C. LIMITED SOURCE (FAR 8.405-6):

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

1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
