The memorandum outlines a Sole Source Justification for procuring ten SDV MK11 Bow Plane Assemblies from Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. The acquisition is authorized by the Naval Sea Systems Command, specifically the Panama City Division. The requirement includes not only the assemblies but also individual wrapping, boxing, labeling, and shipping costs, totaling a fixed price order not exceeding $250,000. The justification highlights that Teledyne Brown Engineering is the only source capable of fulfilling this need, as their custom-manufactured assemblies cannot be substituted by any vetted competitors without prohibitive costs and delays. The Contracting Officer determined that this order represents the best value for the government, confirming that no additional market research was needed beyond evaluating Teledyne Brown due to their unique qualifications. The memo concludes that the restrictions on competition will remain in place until the agency can identify alternative suppliers capable of meeting their requirements.
