About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the Department of the Navy Strategic Weapons Facility, Atlantic (SWFLANT) for acquiring specific STEM educational equipment. The justification seeks to procure TeacherGeek brand STEM Maker Cart 2.0 and Hand2Mind Lab Makerspace Carts for different grade levels (K-5 and 6-8), with the goal of developing long-term relationships with local communities and fostering student interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The justification details that mandatory sources were screened but could not meet requirements, and the procurement will be posted on SAM.gov to allow potential sources to submit quotes. The Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Recruitment and Development Pipeline Standard Operating Procedures support this acquisition as part of an engagement strategy to connect with future scientists, engineers, and technological professionals by providing specialized STEM education equipment to local area schools. All quotations will be evaluated to ensure fair and reasonable pricing, and while the document acknowledges a preference for the specific brand, it commits to competing similar future requirements to the maximum extent practicable.
