It states that the contracting officer will solicit only one source due to unique circumstances, citing urgency and proprietary rights as primary reasons for limiting competition. The projector being procured is a Panasonic model, essential for various functions involving department and tenant employees. The current AV system, installed and maintained exclusively by Headlight Audio Visual, must remain compatible with the new equipment to avoid conflicts with existing programming and warranties. The procurement is deemed urgent, needing a six-month period of performance to ensure uninterrupted operations. Overall, this procurement decision emphasizes the necessity of maintaining operational continuity and compatibility with established systems, while also adhering to federal acquisition regulations.

    This document outlines the justification for utilizing a sole-source approach in a procurement process under the simplified acquisition threshold for an Audio Visual (AV) System at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. According to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), competition may be limited when only one source is available due to specific circumstances, such as proprietary rights or the necessity for system uniformity across various conference rooms.

The memorandum asserts that the requirement cannot be fulfilled through competitive bidding due to these specific needs, primarily aiming for standardization and operational efficiency. The document further affirms the urgency of the acquisition, confirming that timely delivery within one year post-award is essential. The certification and approval sections provide verification from the contracting officer, indicating the completeness of the justification provided. Overall, this memorandum reflects the government’s adherence to procurement guidelines while addressing operational needs through a focused acquisition strategy.
