The Naval Sea Systems Command, specifically the Panama City Division, has issued a Limited Sources Justification to procure twenty Solinst brand depth level loggers, specifically the 3001 Level Logger model. This procurement is necessary to enhance the capabilities of the Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measurement (MIREM) team for deep-water testing, which is essential for mission success. The Solinst loggers are uniquely qualified for this task, as their consistent use is vital for data accuracy and safety during operations in depths of 500-1000 feet. The Contracting Officer confirms this purchase is the best value due to extensive evaluations that ruled out alternative equipment, which would necessitate extensive testing and compromise safety. There are no identified barriers for future procurement beyond this immediate requirement, emphasizing the urgency and specificity of this acquisition. The total acquisition will adhere to simplified procedures not exceeding the acquisition threshold stipulated by the government guidelines. This justification underscores the importance of maintaining equipment consistency and data integrity in critical testing scenarios.
