This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels, but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.00. All deliverables will be delivered by 30 September 2022.This purchase will be funded with FY 2022 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funds. Identification of the justification rationale and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement to update and perform general maintenance on existing Shark Marine Equipment. Shark Marine is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and is the only company with the in-house resident knowledge to accurately conduct evaluation, maintenance and repairs. An alternate source may introduce new or change existing parameters that may be detrimental to the operation of the equipment. As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and it is more advantageous to the Government to award on a sole source basis to the Shark Marine for the items listed in Section 3. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b). The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted. This requirement will be synopsized on the Commercial Opportunities website at SAM.gov per FAR 5.2. No additional market research was conducted because it is not practicable, for the reasons discussed in paragraph 4 above, for any source other than Shark Marine to perform the requirement. Any other facts supporting the justification. None. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made. As stated in paragraph 4 above, Shark Marine is the only source that can meet this requirement.
