About this file
This is a Memorandum recommending other than full and open competition for a federal procurement. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) seeks to acquire five (5) Rubidium Disciplined Oscillators, part number SRO-5680, manufactured by Safran Timing Technologies. The procurement is referenced as 0302-06 – Safran GPSDO Package with delivery required 12-15 weeks after receipt of the order. The estimated cost is redacted in the document. The SRO-5680 Rubidium oscillator is identified as a necessary component for a datalink system, with the component being critical to ensure proper system function. Redesigning the system with an alternative oscillator would require in excess of 160 direct productive hours for evaluation and integration, plus additional effort for new mounting hardware, cabling, and related components, with total redesign costs exceeding the threshold shown in redacted text. These duplicated costs cannot be recovered through full and open competition, and delays in equipment purchase would be operationally detrimental.
Market research conducted via internet searches, subject matter expert consultation, vendor conversations, and market research quotes identified multiple authorized resellers for support services available under NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) contract vehicles. The Contracting Officer has determined that only one or limited sources are reasonably available to meet the government's minimum requirements. The memorandum includes certification sections for both the originator and the Contracting Officer, with signature lines and dates requiring completion.

Subj: RECOMMENDATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
Ref: (a) 0302-06 – Safran GPSDO Package
1. It is recommended that other than full and open competition be used to acquire reference (a) for five (5) Rubidium Disciplined Oscillators, part number SRO-5680, manufactured by Safron Timing Technologies. The estimated cost is with delivery required 12-15 weeks after receipt of the order. The requested material represents the minimum requirements of the government.
