(Redacted)

The Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. (Redacted)

4. 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) currently has a need to repair/rebuild five (5) JFD Shadow Excursion Underwater Breathing Apparatus’ (UBA). JFD is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Shadow Excursion Underwater Breathing Apparatus (UBA). The service and components required to repair and rebuild the UBA’s shall be from the OEM or an authorized partner to ensure compatibility and OEM reliability. Chase Defense Partners is the only authorized partner in the United States for the items listed in Paragraph 3, making them the only source for OEM parts and service. If another brand were to be selected, the components would have to be tested and evaluated to ensure compatibility and reliability, resulting in unplanned additional cost to the Government and unacceptable delay.

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 Chase Defense Partners for the items listed in Paragraph 3.

5. 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.

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, Chase Defense Partners is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov because it is estimated greater than $25,000.00.

7. Any other facts supporting the justification.

None.

8. 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, Chase Defense Partners is the only source that can meet this requirement.

documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal.

Subcontractors may email encryption code information directly to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer

Representative (COR). Should the subcontractor lack encryption capability, the subcontractor may also email

detailed supporting cost information directly to the Contracting Officer and COR; or other method as agreed to by

the Contracting Officer.

during holiday periods. Deliveries will not be accepted on Saturdays, Sundays or Holidays except as

specifically requested by the [insert activity name]. All goods or services attempted to be delivered

on a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday without specific instructions from the Contracting Officer or his

determine if the facility is closed or operating on a delayed arrival basis.

accounting standards, and the company’s established policy and procedures. Contractors shall follow

verbal directions to the contrary. The Contracting Officer will make the determination of cost

allowability for time lost due to facility closure in accordance with FAR, applicable Cost Accounting
