    The purpose of the document is to justify the sole-source procurement of Rugged Science MilCortex hardware by the Naval Sea Systems Command for upgrading legacy Operator Station Units (OSU) on LHD/A ships. The firm-fixed-price purchase order, totaling approximately $443,205, will replace outdated components essential for the Machinery Control Systems (MCS) Tech Refresh project. The specified hardware is unique due to its critical specifications, such as compatibility with Windows 11, specific dimensions, and specialized port configurations, which are essential for maintaining system functionality and meeting operational requirements. The document justifies the lack of full and open competition based on the unique attributes of the Rugged Science brand, established through previous procurement processes and confirmed by multiple vendor assessments. Only one authorized reseller, Nag Marine, was able to provide a quote, reaffirming the brand's singular capability to meet project specifications. This acquisition is deemed vital to prevent disruptions in mission-critical operations and to ensure the safety and performance of maritime systems. Consequently, no plans exist to seek alternative sources unless new vendors emerge that can satisfy the requirements.
