About this file
This sole source justification memorandum requests approval for a non-competitive procurement of a Rockland Scientific VMP-250-IR Microstructure Turbulence Profiler and associated accessories from Rockland Scientific. The Navy seeks this specialized instrument, which is deployed from surface vessels to record turbulence, conductivity, temperature, density, dissolved oxygen, and backscatter through the water column. The profiler will primarily be used at the Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility. Rockland Scientific is identified as the only source based on restrictive proprietary rights in the required equipment. The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation issued by the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command to procure this Rockland Scientific profiler on a sole source basis consistent with the justification presented.

USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION LESS THAN
SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD MEMO
FROM:
CODE: 708
SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification for Use of Other than Full & Open Competition for an Acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)
I. BACKGROUND
1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.
2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
3. This memorandum is derived from Enclosure 3, Department of Navy Simplified Acquisition Procedures Guide (April 2018) and is only applicable to acquisitions under the SAT.
II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE
The items being purchased are a Rockland Scientific VMP-250-IR Microstructure Turbulence Profiler and associated accessories needed for operation. This instrument is deployed from a surface vessel and falls through the water column recording data such as turbulence, conductivity, temperature, density, dissolved oxygen, and backscatter. The instrument will mainly be used at the Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility
(SEAFAC).
