    PWS.pdf
    The document outlines a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for a contractor tasked with repairing an EDAX energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detector at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, in Bethesda, MD. The detector is essential for materials-related analysis but is currently inoperable. The primary objective is to replace the SDD Module to restore its cooling capabilities for routine chemical analysis. Although no special qualifications or government-furnished equipment are specified, the contractor must employ knowledgeable technicians due to the proprietary nature of the equipment. The repair services are set to be completed by March 31, 2025, and the work will take place at the specified government facility.

    Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf
    This memorandum justifies the sole source acquisition of repair services for the EDAX energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detector utilized by Code 612. Under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), particularly section 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), it allows for sourcing from a single provider when adequate market research shows no other suppliers can meet the requirements. The repair service includes the replacement of the SDD module, with an expected performance period lasting until March 31, 2025. EDAX, LLC, based in Warrendale, PA, is the only authorized manufacturer capable of servicing their EDS detectors, with no other contractor able to fulfill this need. Code 612 conducted thorough research in an effort to identify qualified contractors, confirming the necessity of using EDAX, LLC as the sole source. This memorandum aligns with the Department of Navy Simplified Acquisition Procedures and relates specifically to acquisitions not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), supporting the decision for limited source justification.
