The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division intends to award a firm fixed-price (FFP) type contract on a sole‑source basis to Comark LLC, 440 Fortune Boulevard, Milford, Massachusetts 01757-1722 for sixteen Sensor Interface Units (SIU) part number 51-27840-001; one "SIU Tester Log Server" application (Upgrade to Windows 7/10); one SIU Tester Training manual; and one SIU Tester User manual. 

This action is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons:  These SIUs are the only SIUs that meet the form, fit, function and interchangeability requirement for the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) C4N system without redesigning the system.  The SIUs and SIU Tester Log Server application are designed, manufactured and distributed solely by Comark LLC, Milford, MA and Comark LLC is the sole authorized representative for providing the SIU Tester Training and User manuals. Currently, no other source meets the LCAC's SIU requirements.  

Procuring other slightly modified commercial items would require extensive engineering testing and certification which would significantly increase cost and result in required deliverable dates not being achieved.  Delivery is required 20 weeks after contract award.  All deliverables will be to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), Receiving Officer, 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001.
