About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification Memorandum for a firm fixed price contract award to Nuytco Research Ltd. for specialized diving research equipment. The contracting activity is Naval Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD), Code 024, located at 110 Vernon Ave., Panama City, FL 32407.
The procurement covers three line items of underwater diving equipment: one NC50S Portable 27kHz TWC Unit with 25' XDR Cable and 27kHz XDR (quantity 1), one NC50S-Diver 27kHz Diver TWC Unit (quantity 2), and one NC50S-UMB Diver to Diver Hardwire Umbilical Connection with a 4-pin OTS Hi-Use connector suitable for existing dive masks in SRDD use (quantity 1). The justification for sole source procurement is based on compatibility requirements with currently Government-owned equipment already in use by the US Navy. The memorandum establishes that equipment from alternative manufacturers would not be compatible with existing systems and could introduce safety risks to divers by potentially compromising communication capabilities essential for mission requirements. The Contracting Officer has determined that the award represents best value as the lowest overall cost alternative meeting the Government's needs. No market research was conducted among schedule holders due to Nuytco Research Ltd. being the only source capable of meeting the stated requirements. The Government's minimum needs have been verified by certifying technical and requirements personnel.

Text version
The Naval Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) currently has a requirement for the items listed in Paragraph 3 of this document.

If another brand were to be selected, that brand may not be compatible with the currently
Government owned equipment, thus introducing a potential risk to the divers as they may not be able to communicate to meet mission requirements.
As such, the government does not expect significant savings through competition and it is more advantageous to the Government to award on a sole source basis to the Nuytco Research Ltd. for the items listed in Paragraph 3 of this document.
