SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

Determination Memorandum for Sole Source Acquisitions Over $10,000 but not Exceeding $250,000

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM OR SERVICE, WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE DETERMINATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM OR SERVICE PROVIDER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. THIS FORM MAY BE USED IN LIEU OF THE DETERMINATION DESCRIBED IN FAR 13.106. THE CUSTOMER SHALL

PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER: 2. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER:

MRTS 3D® SLQ-32(v)6 - Hardware Buy

3. ESTIMATED AMOUNT:

4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:

The hardware being purchased has been identified in the attached Spreadsheet. The computers are loaded with MRTS 3D® applications that will support training at Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station in Pensacola, Florida. For configuration management purposes, as well as preventions of interoperability issues resulting from introducing new untested hardware, the Government is request certain items to be brand name specific. This effort will involve two deliveries of hardware. An initial delivery to NAWCTSD as well as a follow on delivery to Corry Station in Naval Station Pensacola, FL.

5. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED:

The required H/W list match the brands currently used within the facility (i.e., input/output signal parameters, connection configuration, casing dimensions, etc.) of the existing systems. In order to properly control the configuration of the simulators, and to eliminate the need to re-engineer/configure training systems at an additional cost, the Government is procuring several items as brand name specific. In addition, maintaining component configuration characteristics allows the government to capitalize on the technical expertise obtained (regarding operations and maintenance) of MRTS 3D simulators currently deployed. This will also greatly reduce the time and effort necessary to complete upgrade/installations at Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC). Additionally, a deviations from certain specific hardware brands, which already underwent rigorous testing within the initial field SLQ-32v6 lab, could result in workstation instability or potentially system failures when performing the MRTS 3D SLQ-32 s/w application, resulting in an impact to sailor training

6. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT MORE THEN ONE

SOURCE HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED:

This is a brand name only determination. This order is not meant to shortcut any requirements for soliciting for full and open competition amongst resellers who are able to provide the required equipment.

7. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED:

No reasonable action can be identified at this time concerning substitute items to the brand name hardware requested. Future procurements of the listed products may result in different conclusions depending on equipment configuration at that time as well as future maturity of the SLQ training system.
