N00164-21-Q-0224 – SOLE SOURCE –ENCODER – FSG 5999 - NAICS 334310 ISSUE DATE 16-AUG-2021 – CLOSING DATE 23-AUG-2021 – 5:00 PM Eastern Time ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for Makito X Dual Channel Encoder with Chassis and Support Maintenance SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT - The proposed contract action is for the supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, HAIVISION NETWORK VIDEO INC, of 750 Estate Drive, Suite 104, Deerfield, Illinois 60015; cage code 3MSD7, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1. This is being sole sourced because the specific encoder is required to interface with currently installed software drivers and multiple data collection nodes. This specific build configuration is only available through the Original Equipment Manufacturer. To pursue the purchase of different encoder through an alternate OEM would not only cause system compatibility issues but would cost the Government $108,000 in labor costs in order to develop new software drivers and integrate it into the existing mission system. It would also cost $25,000 in material cost to integrate and install new hardware and cabling, in addition to delaying the program anywhere from twelve months to several years. This detriment in time and money cannot be re-couped through competition. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
