Redacted Kylie BNJ Pacific Instruments 5800 Series_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification Memorandum for the procurement of Pacific Instruments 5800 Series data acquisition system and components by Code 663 of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division. The acquisition involves purchasing multiple items including 16-Channel Non-Rugged Data Recorders (4 units), various door pin springs and panels (5 units each), door latches, LED front panels, screws, and retainer bars, as well as Transducer Recorders and Ethernet Control Boards. The total quantity ranges from 5 to 16 units per item type.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on several critical factors: the 5800 series recorders and systems are being discontinued as of December 2024, Code 663 requires continued operation while determining a replacement system, and there are no alternative systems or brands that can interface with the current 5800 Series systems. The manufacturer is Pacific Instruments, located in Concord, CA, with a point of contact named Patrick Rule. The memorandum indicates this procurement is under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) and is intended to maintain operational continuity for the existing data acquisition infrastructure.
