NSWCCD SAP Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo Effective April 2025

MEMORANDUM FOR FILE

FROM:

CODE: 8530

TO: Code 02 SUBJECT: Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo for Actions Under 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. FAR 8.405-6 allows for limiting sources for orders or BPAs under Federal Supply Schedules under certain circumstances or for items peculiar to one manufacturer

3. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), FAR 8.405-6(a)(1), or FAR 8.405-6(b)(2), 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.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE (Include manufacture/sole source name and address.)

New pressure transducer sensor setup will be used to extend current sensor measurement capabilities from existing equipment. The purchase will add sensor input channels and these sensors promote higher measurement accuracy. Improved measurement accuracy will help resolve hydrodynamic flow characteristics.

Items are required for purchasing.

1. Analog Output Signal:+/-10Vdc, Diaphragm Accuracy:0.25% FS, Sensor Electrical Connector: PT02A- 10-6P, O-ring: BUNA- -27 NPTF Female with 8-port, Factory calibrated sensor with diaphragm 30 (1.25 psi), Item Number DP15-30-2695 Quantity: 18

2. Sensor/Demodulator End Connectors: PT06A-10-6S mating connectors (must connect DP15 PT02A-10- 6P to demodulator unit), Belden 8723 - 22 AWG stranded (7x30) tinned copper conductors, polypropylene insulation, twisted pairs, individually shielded(100% coverage), 24 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire, PVC jacket, Length: 75 feet, Item Number 12457-75 Quantity: 20

3. Multi-slot Module Case Card Slots/Channels:10, Input/Output Connections: PT02A/XLR, Power Requirements: 105-125VAC @ 50 -400Hz, Item Number MC1-10-P-1A Quantity: 2

4. Card Demodulator Plug-ins Carrier Supply: Voltage -5Vms Sine Wave, Frequency-3kHz, Power Available-5VA(Maximum), Carrier Regulation: Line- Amplitude +/-0.05% & Frequency +/-0.01%, Load- Amplitude +/-0.15% & Frequency +/-0.10%, Temp- Amplitude +/-0.01% & Frequency +/-0.006%, Item Number CD19A-1-A-1-A-1 Quantity: 20

5. Replacement Diaphragms:1.25psi with 0.25% accuracy, Item Number 3-30 Quantity: 36

6. Replacement Diaphragms:2.0psi with 0.25% accuracy, Item Number 3-32 Quantity: 36

NSWCCD SAP Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo Effective April 2025

7. Replacement Diaphragms:5.0psi with 0.25% accuracy, Item Number 3-36 Quantity: 18

8. Replacement Buna O-ring: BUNA-N O-rings for DP15-30-2695, Item Number 2773-0224 Quantity: 36
