Sole Source to Accelerated Memory Production, Inc. for Ruggedized Hard Drives for Single Board Computers on Landing Craft Air Cushion

The Naval Sea Systems Command seeks to award a sole source contract to Accelerated Memory Production, Inc. for 228 units of 500GB industrial temperature ruggedized hard drives. The drives are required for integration into the command and control systems of Landing Craft Air Cushion vehicles as the new system baseline. Utilizing any other vendor would require additional testing and integration work by both the prime contractor and Navy, delaying delivery by at least six weeks and increasing costs. The justification memorandum identifies Accelerated Memory Production, Inc. as the only company able to meet the requirement given their experience providing similar products for naval applications. The contracting officer determined this sole source award to be in the best interest of the government.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The place of performance is PC Beach, Florida and Accelerated Memory Production, Inc. is identified as the incumbent and only responsible source. The quantity is firm at 228 units of 500GB industrial temperature ruggedized hard drives to be integrated into the command and control systems of Landing Craft Air Cushion vehicles, with an unspecified budget. The contracting officer has determined this sole source award of 228 units to Accelerated Memory Production, Inc. to be the best value for the government.
