    2026 DirecTV_FY26_BNJ_Redacted.pdf
    The NSWCCD SAP Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo, effective April 2025, details the rationale for a non-competitive acquisition of DirecTV services for the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD). Citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and FAR 8.405-6, the memo justifies soliciting only DirecTV due to the existing infrastructure (boxes, connections, and satellites) being exclusively compatible with DirecTV signals. Transitioning to another provider like Dish or Comcast would necessitate a complete replacement of hardware, extensive coordination with multiple departments (Facilities, IT, Security, NAVFAC), and an estimated three months of downtime. This disruption would negatively impact security posture, morale, and incur significant labor costs, outweighing any potential savings from a different service provider. Wi-Fi-based services are not viable due to insufficient internet speed and security restrictions. While DirecTV has small business service providers for maintenance, the core infrastructure requires the brand-name product.

    The MIL-STD-31000B TDP Option Selection Worksheet is a standardized form used in federal government contracts for defining technical data package (TDP) requirements. It guides the selection of TDP levels (Conceptual, Developmental, or Product), types and formats (2D drawings or 3D model-based data), and associated document numbering conventions. The worksheet also specifies drawing and 3Di PDF formats, lists required TDP elements such as engineering design data, specifications, and software documentation, and outlines applicable industry standards like ASME Y14.100 and Y14.41.
