Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

understanding of the RCS, that are necessary to provide engineering services required. Utilizing an alternate manufacturer for the engineering services is not feasible.

In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) the circumstances of this contract action deem only one source to be reasonably available. NAIAD Dynamics Inc. is the only company that can provide modification and integration design guidance for their equipment; this requirement will be processed as a sole source.

3. MARKET SURVEY

Utilizing another manufacturer would require design and development (full-scale installation and testing) of an entirely new interceptor unit and corresponding ride control system. A market survey was conducted identifying four companies (Humphree, Great Water, Hydro Tab, and

Imtra) that make interceptors for boats and ship. The research identified that each vendor develops custom interceptors for boats and ships, along with their own proprietary RCS. The market research confirmed none of the vendors would be able to provide recommendations to modify the existing interceptors and utilizing a different vendor would require design development of an entirely new interceptor and RCS.

4. ADDITIONAL FACTS

None.

5. CUSTOMER SIGNATURE:

I certify that the statement and information provided above, are complete and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that the processing of this SOLE SOURCE justification precludes the use of full and open competition.
