The Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. All material will be delivered within 120 days after award of purchase order. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. (Redacted)

1. 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)(1), 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B). Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B).

This procurement is sole source for the following reasons. NSWC PCD is the design authority for production of the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) 100 Class, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Navigation (C4N) System. This procurement is not suitable for full and open competition and it is in the best interest of the Government to acquire this item using a non-competitive procurement because SAIC is the only company that fabricates the Software Support Center (SSC) C4N Rack Door Skins Kit Contents. This custom kitted hardware is intended to perform installations on each modification of the necessary craft. Without this custom kit, LCAC-100 class production would not be complete, degrading SSC performance and limiting the planned testing.

1. 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.

1. 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, SAIC is the only company that can meet the requirement.

1. Any other facts supporting the justification.

None.

1. 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.

For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, SAIC is the only company that can meet the requirement.
