    Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a Sole Source Justification for the procurement of GE Fanuc's Proficy iFIX software for the FFG-62 Land Based Test Facility control system. This software, essential for developing a graphical human machine interface (HMI), is currently in use by the Navy's Ship Systems Engineering Station (NSWCPD) and is tailored for automation and real-time data management. The estimated cost for upgraded keys and support is approximately $50,000. AutomaTech Inc. is identified as the only authorized distributor for this software in the Northeast, particularly Philadelphia. The document emphasizes that switching to an alternate HMI solution would lead to substantial additional costs and delays due to the need for new hardware, extensive training, and limited workforce familiarity. The unique qualification of GE iFIX, its compliance with industry standards, and retention of existing knowledge from previous projects are highlighted to justify the sole source procurement. The justification concludes with the certification of the officials involved, confirming the accuracy and necessity of the procurement process despite the absence of full competition.
