The document presents a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command's Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division. The contract aims to procure critical equipment from Vision Research, Inc., specifically the Phantom T-4040 camera system and its associated components. These items are necessary to replace outdated systems while ensuring compatibility with existing accessories and maintaining high-quality data collection capabilities. The approval cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR Subpart 13.5 to justify the sole-source approach due to the proprietary nature of the required products and the significant risks associated with switching to alternative systems, which could incur substantial rework and testing costs. Market research confirmed Vision Research, Inc. as the exclusive source for the required equipment, and the Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated costs are fair and reasonable. The document underscores the importance of meeting the government's urgent needs by adhering to a 30-day delivery requirement after order receipt. The Dahlgren Contract Department currently has no plans for future competitive procurements in this area unless new potential sources emerge.
