SAP Brand Name Justification for NADMT End of Life Spares - Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination Memorandum for a Sole Source Acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for purchases exceeding $15,000 but not exceeding $350,000.

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) in Orlando is procuring critical brand-name spare components for the Navy Airborne Distributed Mission Training (NADMT) program. NADMT is built on a highly complex, system-of-systems architecture designed to ensure long-term operational viability of the System Integration Laboratory (SIL). The procurement addresses imminent obsolescence risks, ensuring the SIL remains operationally available to support seamless integration of the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) platforms. The selected contractor will be responsible for procuring, inspecting, and delivering a comprehensive spares package to San Diego, California, with an expedited delivery target of 15 September 2026. The acquisition will utilize brand-name restrictions competed among authorized distributors and resellers to the maximum extent practicable. The contracting officer is Michael C. Davis, and the customer is Alphnaeus A. Flood. The Government has determined this procurement is a one-time requirement and does not intend to compete future acquisitions for this specific requirement, though it will continue market research to identify alternative sources and new technologies that may address future NADMT training system needs.
