NSWCCD Sole Source/Brand Name Justification ≤ SAT rev 1 Effective September 2020

USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION LESS THAN

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD MEMO

FROM:

CODE: NSWC Carderock

SUBJECT: Sole Source/Brand Name Justification / Limited 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 (include manufacture/sole source name and address)

Cambridge Pixel produces SPx Tracking Server which is automatic radar targeting and tracking software for marine environments. This software receives data from the radar (of which many different vendors are supported), automatically detects and tracks targets. These targets can then be analyzed to perform RADAR hardware comparison tests or fed into Unmanned Surface Vessel Autonomy software processes for obstacle avoidance.

☒ 3. Other Reasons: The government currently uses Cambridge Pixel SPx Tracking Server for its prototype

Unmanned Surface Vessels and it has been tested for acceptable performance for obstacle avoidance and navigation. These licenses are to provide additional licenses so that we can run this software on more vessels and conduct more test

As stated above, the Cambridge Pixel SPx Tracking Server is currently in use by the command for obstacle avoidance and navigation on Unmanned Surface Vessels. If these licenses are not procured, it will put the Grain

Barge Prototype Project in jeopardy since these Cambridge Pixel SPx Tracking Server licenses will be used for obstacle avoidance and navigation.
