The computers are commercial items manufactured by NAG Marine to replace 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. Therefore, it is in the Government's best interest to award on a sole source basis to NAG Marine. 5.
