    PR 1301193951 Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf
    The memorandum outlines a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification for the acquisition of Tecplot software licenses under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). It establishes that, according to FAR regulations, the Contracting Officer can solicit proposals from a single source when warranted. Tecplot software is essential for analyzing complex data from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) projects, with the need for four perpetual licenses specified. The justification emphasizes that Tecplot is the sole supplier of the required software, as no comparable alternatives exist that can effectively handle Tecplot's file formats without requiring significant changes to existing production software. This would disrupt ongoing projects related to various naval systems, including UUVs and submarines. The memorandum concludes with the necessary signatures for technical certification and approval under federal procurement regulations, highlighting the unique position of Tecplot as the exclusive provider of the required tools for mission-critical analysis and compliance with sponsorship requirements.
