    REDACTED Sole Source Justification.docx
    The NSWCCD SAP Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo, effective April 2025, details a sole-source procurement for 1,800 lbs of NGD-9 A side and 882 lbs of NGD-9 B side liquid polymer from Goodrich Corp. This polymer, a classified proprietary formulation, provides acoustic modification and protection for Navy vehicle surfaces. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and FAR 8.405-6, emphasizing that only one source is reasonably available due to Goodrich/Collins Aerospace's proprietary rights. The document highlights the extensive time and cost (over seven years and significant funds) required to develop this specific compound, making a replacement impractical. The estimated value of the procurement includes the polymer, DMA test fees, and heated freight delivery. This memo ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations for non-competitive actions under the simplified acquisition threshold, certifying the necessity and accuracy of the information.
