Other / Unclassified

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a non-competitive procurement. It justifies the acquisition of two (2) Continuous Wave Single Longitudinal Mode Lasers for the BBG(X) program at David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB).

This justification is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why the government intends to solicit from a single source, Coherent Inc. The lasers are described as mission-essential replacement components for an existing government-owned Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) system. The justification states that using non-identical replacement lasers would require significant modification and reengineering of the existing system, leading to substantial additional time, expense, and delays for the BBG(X) program. The procurement is expected to be under the simplified acquisition threshold. The manufacturer is identified as Coherent Inc., located at 5100 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054.
