    The document outlines a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ N0016725Q0009) from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) for the procurement of fifty (50) triaxial accelerometers. Interested vendors are invited to submit quotes and capabilities statements by October 29, 2024. The primary requirements include specific technical specifications for the accelerometers, compliance with various Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses, and the inclusion of a price, Cage Code, and any applicable shipping charges in their proposals. Evaluations will focus on price and technical capability, with bids being deemed acceptable if they meet all defined specifications. The solicitation includes guidelines for delivery, conduct, safety, and payment instructions, along with clauses relating to telecommunications equipment provisions and contractor responsibilities. By detailing the specifications and evaluation criteria, the document aims to ensure fair competition while adhering to federal procurement standards.
    The document is a memorandum from Code 717 to Code 02, justifying the sole source procurement for triaxial accelerometers under the federal Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) guidelines. According to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the contracting officer can solicit from a single source when only one is reasonably available for the required item. The item needed is a brand-specific product from PCB Piezotronics (part number TLD356A16), with a quantity of 50 units, essential for replacing existing sensors within the NSWCCD project. The justification outlines reasons for limited competition, including the presence of proprietary rights held by the manufacturer and the necessity of using these specific sensors to avoid higher costs and maintain functionality in current systems. The memo concludes with certifications from the first line supervisor and the contracting officer, formally approving the procurement based on FAR 13.501, underlining the importance of adhering to correct procurement protocols and ensuring effective resource management in government projects. This summary reflects the document's focus on compliance with federal procurement regulations and the rationale behind selecting a sole source provider.
