Small Business Set Aside for Computer Medic Inc Brand Mini Embedded Computers per attachments

This Brand Name Justification outlines the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division's (NSWC PCD) intent to award a firm fixed price contract for 50 Intel Celeron J6412 Mini Fan-less Embedded Computers and associated components from Computer Medic dba Industrial Computers Inc. The justification, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(c), specifies that these items are integral to a configuration-controlled system supporting fielded systems. Acquiring a different brand would necessitate extensive retesting, validation, and documentation updates, leading to significant project delays and potential lack of fleet support. The acquisition will use simplified procedures, with a total value above micro-purchase but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The Contracting Officer determined this brand represents the best value and lowest overall cost. Market research indicated Computer Medic dba Industrial Computers Inc. is the sole brand capable of meeting the government's needs, and the requirement will be synopsized on sam.gov.
