The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), Florida intends to issue a firm fixed price, sole source, supply type contract to NAG LLC, 2511 Walmer Ave, Norfolk, VA 23513 for thirty-eight (38) each ruggedized embedded computers part number 1001RS0A01 A. The parts are currently manufactured by NAG Marine and are already in use for the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Command, Control, Communications, Computer and Navigation (C4N) System Baseline Configuration 4 (SBC4) Keypad, Video and Navigation (KVN) system. The Government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and
requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. All
equipment will be delivered no later than sixteen (16) weeks after award of the order. The
contract action will be funded with FY18 Operation & Maintenance, Navy funds. 38 each $13728.00 $521,664.00 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services
Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. NSWC PCD is the design authority for the LCAC C4N
systems. These systems are part of the Service Life Extension Program
(SLEP). The Amphibious Warfare Program Office PMS377 J-Division SLEP program of record
is in the process of upgrading legacy craft. Craft configured with System Baseline
Configuration Two (SBC2) will be technology refreshed with System Baseline Configuration
Four (SBC4). The parts requested in this memorandum are to be provided as Government
Furnished Equipment (GFE) to an Alteration/Installation Team (AIT) for integration with SBC4 the aging SBC2 Navigation and Universal Keyboard (UKB) computers that can no longer be
supported. This procurement is not suitable for full and open competition and it is in the best
interest of the Government to acquire these items using a non-competitive procurement because
NAG Marine is the only company that makes this slightly modified commercial item that is
compliant with the Government owned SBC4 Technical Data Package (TDP).
The items being procured were tested and evaluated against the Naval Sea Systems Command
(NAVSEA) technical requirements as provided on the LCAC C4N System Baseline
Configuration 4 (SBC4) product specification during the product's initial prototyping and
evaluation phase. No other source for these items currently exists. Developing another source
for these items would be cost and schedule prohibitive. The total estimated cost to develop, test
and evaluate a different product to satisfy this requirement is estimated at $1.5 million dollars,
and the lead time associated with the development, test and evaluation of this requirement is
estimated at 18 months. Therefore, it is in the Government's best interest to award on a sole
source basis to NAG LLC.
