This memorandum outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for acquisitions under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, as per FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i). It applies to situations where only one source is reasonably available, such as due to urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or brand-name restrictions. The document details the requirement for NNSY’s Physical Access Control System (PACS) to interface with the Milestone XProtect Professional+ CCTV system, necessitating contractor maintenance. Unlimited Technologies Government (UTG) is identified as NNSY’s certified Tyco integrator, performing maintenance under an existing multi-year contract. The justification for sole-sourcing this requirement is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as UTG is the only authorized distributor/technical representative for the OEM, essential for continuity of services and maintaining NNSY’s physical security posture in compliance with NAVSEAINST 5510.2D and OPNAVINST 5530.14E. The memorandum also provides sections for brand-name justifications and unusual and compelling urgency, though these were not selected for this particular acquisition.

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) requires a contractor to provide comprehensive life cycle support for its Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system. This includes telephonic and on-site support, hardware/software maintenance, defect corrections, preventative maintenance, system administration, documentation updates, and refresher training. The work will primarily occur at NNSY during regular business hours, with specific timeframes for critical responses (1-hour telephonic, 4-hour on-site, 2-hour during reactor servicing). The contractor's personnel must hold a Secret security clearance and meet DoD Cybersecurity Workforce requirements. Access to NNSY requires a DBIDS card and potentially a red NAVSEA badge for Restricted Data. The contractor must be a Milestone Certified Partner with relevant certifications and experience in Milestone CCTV deployments and federal procurement procedures. Key tasks involve hardware/software support, defect correction, preventative maintenance (including monthly Milestone integrity checks and semi-annual version upgrades), cybersecurity assessments for RMF compliance, and ongoing documentation updates.
