About this file
This document is a Limited-Sources Justification (LSJ) for a federal supply schedule order for Black Box networking equipment by the U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) Maritime Operations Center (MOC). The procurement is for high-performance networking equipment, specifically Black Box KVM systems, which are critical for command and control of naval forces, supporting both classified and unclassified local area networks. The justification emphasizes that USFFC MOC staff is extensively trained on Black Box products, and no other manufacturer can interface or support their current IT systems, making this a sole-source procurement.
The procurement is being conducted by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center in Norfolk, VA, with TD SYNNEX as the GSA schedule contractor for Black Box. The document indicates this is a firm-fixed-price order, with the specific procurement supporting mission-critical network operations. The potential disruption of naval force command and control capabilities is cited as a key rationale for limiting the source to Black Box, with market research conducted via internet. The estimated procurement cost is redacted, and the order is associated with Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) N66001-24-A-0034.

6. Specific characteristics of the supplies or services that limit the availability to this/these source(s) (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this/these source(s) can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. Provide a description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results OR a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.
USFFC MOC currently utilizes Black Box High-performance KVMs to provide users with a seamless desktop experience while allowing the actual hardware to be housed in a separate secure datacenter. Our staff is trained and has extensive experience at using Black Box products.
Black Box products have also been used and well tested at USFF HQ for interfacing with our Storage Area Network, data networks and private management network. No other manufacturer would interface or support with these systems. If this product were not to be procured, it would result in the inability of the USFFC MOC to command and control Naval forces assigned using currently installed IT systems. Market Research was conducted using the internet.
