Scope & Requirements

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to procure products/service manufactured by Freedom USA Inc. DBA AVADirect Custom Computers. AVADirect Custom Computers is located in Twinsburg, OH. Extensive research of different systems and discussions with multiple vendors for several makes and models identified that the AVADirect hardware is the only product that could meet the specific performance parameters, size and compatibility. Proprietary rights limit competition. Selection of an alternate brand would cause the Government to incur additional time, estimated at 480 Direct Productive Person Hours 2 (DPPH), to integrate and test an alternate computer can support the required CEM software and process the data correctly, which AVADirect computers have already proven. All costs associated with this requirement must be included in the quoted price. This includes shipping and freight to Dahlgren, VA 22448-5114 as well as any tariff or duty charges. No additional costs may be added after award. Where applicable, DFARS 252.225-7013, Duty-Free Entry, will be incorporated. The Government will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and the order will be issued on a firm fixed-price basis.
