Other / Unclassified

This memorandum justifies a non-competitive procurement action for an amplifier under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and FAR 8.405-6 as the basis for limiting competition.

This document explains why only one source, Instruments Inc., will be solicited for an amplifier required by Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carder Division (NSWCCD). The amplifier is needed to support sonar array calibrations and is a form, fit, and functional replacement for an existing unit. The justification states that the specific model is compatible with current equipment and meets performance requirements for consistency and data quality. Pursuing alternatives would require significant engineering effort. The estimated value of the purchase is approximately $ . This information is relevant to potential bidders by indicating that this specific requirement is not open for competitive bidding due to the unique compatibility and replacement nature of the required amplifier.
