Sole Source Justification Memorandum

This is a sole source justification for a firm fixed price purchase order awarded to TacMed Solutions by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) located in Panama City, Florida. The contracting activity concerns evaluation support services for Free-Swimming Diver Heated Systems (FDHS). The procurement will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total contract value exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.00. All required equipment must be delivered no later than ninety (90) days after receipt from the Government.

The contract effort encompasses four primary components: FDHS Evaluation (4 lots), FDHS Major Repair (4 lots), Item 102652 Tube Suit Purge Kit Push/Pull (1 lot), Item 101474 Filter Replacement Kit (100 lots), Item 102662 T-Bar Allen Key (10 lots), and Shipping (115 lots). TacMed Solutions is determined to be the sole source capable of meeting requirements because it acquired the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) status through purchase of RINI Technologies Incorporated, the original FDHS manufacturer. The contracting officer has determined this order represents best value considering price, special features, and administrative costs. No other vendor or manufacturer is authorized to conduct repairs or maintenance, and all required parts and technical information are proprietary to TacMed Solutions. Market research confirmed TacMed Solutions is the only source able to meet the Government's needs, and no barriers to competition are anticipated for future acquisitions.
