    The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation has determined to solicit from a single source, Speedgoat Inc., for the provision of a mobile real-time target machine used in simulation and testing applications. The requirement arises from the need for hardware compatible with Simulink software to simulate operational scenarios effectively. Speedgoat is identified as the sole provider of real-time target computers that integrate essential I/O hardware, programmable FPGAs, and communication protocol support, making them essential for the agency's current hardware-in-loop simulations. A comparison will be made to ensure that the pricing is fair and reasonable based on past purchases and current market conditions. Market research indicates that Speedgoat has no authorized resellers, solidifying the need for a sole source procurement for this specific requirement. The determination is aligned with FAR guidelines, allowing for such an approach under circumstances where no other suppliers can meet the agency's needs adequately.
