The document is a Sole Source Memorandum issued by the Naval Sea Systems Command for the procurement of eighteen Dual Lever Throttle/Propeller Pitch Units from DACO Hand Controllers, Inc. This acquisition, estimated to exceed simplified acquisition thresholds, is justified on the basis that DACO is the only company capable of supplying the necessary units, which are essential for the LCAC100 class air cushion vehicle's command and control systems. The justification cites regulations allowing for non-competitive procurement due to DACO's unique qualifications, notably their existing single lever controller, which is the basis for the dual lever design. This ensures compatibility with existing electrical and software interfaces, avoiding additional integration costs. The contracting officer confirms that this procurement represents the best value for the government, taking into account various cost factors. Market research was not necessary as DACO was identified as the sole source meeting the requirements. The memo concludes confirming that no barriers to competition exist for future acquisitions.
