This is a Sole Source Memorandum for a firm fixed price purchase order to acquire Shark Marine Dive Tablet evaluation support from Shark Marine Technologies Incorporated.

The Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division is procuring an upgrade of Shark Marine Dive Tablets (models SMDT-2 T-103, T-228, T-241, T-299, and T-301) including complete verification and validation of system performance after ISEA-implemented updates. Services must be performed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) at their maintenance and repair facility. The contract includes five line items for tablet upgrades (one lot each) and five shipping lots. All repaired equipment will be delivered no later than ninety (90) days after receipt from the Government. The acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total dollar value above micropurchase levels but not exceeding the $350,000 simplified acquisition threshold.

The justification for sole source procurement cites that Shark Marine Technologies Incorporated is the only source capable of meeting requirements as the OEM. The contractor possesses proprietary repair information and knowledge of the systems' acoustic and magnetic signatures and trend data necessary to maintain performance standards. The Contracting Officer determined this order represents best value and lowest overall cost. No market research was conducted based on the unique qualifications required.
