This document is a Simplified Procedures for Sole Source Justification form from the U.S. Special Operations Command (MARSOC) for a VideoRay Repair for Defenders contract. The independent government estimate is $194,000, and the procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-(b)(1) for a sole source acquisition.

The justification explains that MARSOC previously purchased three VideoRay Defender underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) through a third-party integrator (SARCOS, inc.). Since SARCOS has divested its manufacturing capability, the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is now the only viable source for repairs and warranty coverage for the remaining two-year period. The contract specifies there is no alternative network of distributors or third-party service options, making the OEM the exclusive repair and support provider for these specialized underwater vehicles.
