This document is a Sole Source Justification Memorandum for Teledyne Cables. It outlines the rationale for awarding a firm-fixed-price contract to Teledyne D.G. O'Brien (DGO) on a sole source basis.

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why a specific opportunity is being awarded without full and open competition. It details:

• Procurement Details: The government is procuring specific cables (ITAR C/A W-100, RCPT 4F/O MM, and RCPT ASSY) that are part of a TEMPALT and are SUBSAFE certified.
• Sole Source Rationale: Teledyne DGO is identified as the only responsible source because the cables are proprietary to them, the government lacks sufficient rights to a Technical Data Package (TDP) for competition, and DGO has not historically sold these rights. Using an alternative source would require new TEMPALT approval and SUBSAFE certification, leading to unacceptable project delays and compatibility issues.
• Contracting Activity: NSWC-PCD, Panama City, FL.
• Acquisition Procedure: Simplified acquisition procedures will be used.
• Market Research: Market research was not conducted because Teledyne DGO is the only source that can meet the government's needs.
• Barriers to Competition: The proprietary nature of the cables and the lack of government rights to TDPs are the primary barriers. Teledyne DGO is the only approved supplier for these SUBSAFE-certified cables.
