    brand name justification.docx
    The document outlines a brand name justification for the procurement of six Orolia Government Systems VersaSync ruggedized Time and Frequency systems, essential for the SARTS IV GPS clock being developed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). According to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the Contracting Officer may solicit from a single source under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) if only one source is reasonably available. The justification for using a sole source hinges on proprietary rights held by Orolia, which limits the availability of the required equipment. The extensive design and development conducted around the Orolia system means that using another supplier would necessitate major redesign efforts, significantly impacting the project timeline and completion of submarine trials. As such, the procurement process will proceed with no competition, ensuring reliable access to the critical timing source necessary for accurate submarine positioning and functionality during trials.
