About this file
This is a Brand Name Memorandum (Limited Source Justification) for a firm fixed price purchase order issued by Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), located at 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001 (Contracts Department Code 02).
The acquisition involves Woods-Hole brand micromodems, coprocessors, and power amplifiers to refresh end-of-life hardware within the Modeling and Simulation Lab. The NSWC PCD requires this specific equipment to conduct critical modeling and simulation analyses for Software in The Loop (SWIL) buildout to support Hammerhead sensor system performance analysis. Six line items are being acquired: Transducer Btech BT-2RCL (Part 211002), Transducer Towfish for WH-BT Transducers with Case (Part 224001), Console Cable Pelican Deck Gear 15 ft (Part 232034-15ft), Cable Transducer LPMIL-3-MP to FS on SBC 1.2kV Rated Load Bearing 100 ft (Part 234065-100ft), Micromodem 3 Single-RX PSK with LPD Power Amplifier for Btech BT-2RCL Xducer (Part 250082-0222), and Housing Pelican Deck Gear Kit (Part 258060). The justification emphasizes that maintaining consistency with existing Woods-Hole equipment is imperative for empirical research validity and data reliability; use of alternate equipment may introduce new parameters that compromise test results. Competition is limited to authorized resellers of Woods-Hole products. The total dollar value does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000, and all equipment will be delivered no later than twenty-four weeks after award.

4. Identification of the justification rationale and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. Authority: FAR 6.103-1(d), Application for brand-name descriptions.
The NSWC Panama City requires the aforementioned equipment in order to refresh end of life hardware within in the Modeling and Simulation Lab. The NSWC PCD needs the workstation to conduct critical modeling and simulation (M&S) analyses which will serve to jumpstart our much needed Software in The Loop (SWIL) buildout to begin efforts on Hammerhead sensor system performance analysis. The Woods-Hole is the current brand of micromodems used To maintain the consistency of computer analysis results it is imperative that all variables remain the same within the testing system. Consistency in analysis is a key element in empirical research and the examination of tests and measurement instruments. It determines the validity and reliability of data and improves the accuracy and consistency of test results. Use of alternate equipment may introduce new or change existing parameters that may alternate test results. Faulty or inconsistent test results if useless to the Government. If Woods-Hole brand equipment is not acquired, the workgroup is going to be unable to perform their intended task by not executing the intended software development.
It is a requirement of this purchase that any awardee be an authorized reseller of the Woods-Hole products.
