The memorandum addresses the use of non-competitive procurement to acquire Mastercam Maintenance for the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. According to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), contracting officers can solicit from a single source if unique circumstances exist, such as urgency or proprietary rights. The total estimated cost is $12,773, and funding will be drawn from Fiscal Year 2025 Operation and Maintenance, Navy funds, with performance lasting one year from the award date.
The sole source justification stems from the exclusive nature of Mastercam maintenance, which is critical for maintaining the software's integrity and receiving essential security patches. The document states that alternative products cannot meet government needs, confirming that Mastercam is the only company able to provide the necessary support. The urgency of the requirement is highlighted, as delays could compromise fleet operations and lead to vulnerabilities in information systems.
Market research revealed no competitive options, underscoring the necessity for this specific brand. The approval process for this procurement involves both a technical certification and contracting officer authorization. Thus, this memorandum outlines the rationale behind the acquisition strategy to ensure mission-critical operations are uninterrupted.
