About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document (NSWC-PHD-JA-25-086) from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division authorizing procurement using other than full and open competition. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) plans to award a firm-fixed price contract on a brand-name basis to Vector Electronics for a compact payment card industry (ePCI) power supply (part numbers 92100142 or 92100142H). The power supply converts alternating current (AC) electricity into direct current (DC) electricity and delivers up to 500 watts of continuous power within specified configurations. The estimated dollar value of the procurement is redacted in the document.
The justification for sole-source procurement is based on 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), establishing that the Vector Electronics ePCI power supply is the only source meeting programmatic requirements. The Navy conducted extensive due diligence including counterfeiting avoidance assessments, functional qualification testing (FQT), and environmental qualification testing (EQT) on the Vector branded product to ensure compliance with industry and government standards (SAE AS5553, SAE AS6171, SAE ARP6328, and NAVSO P-7000). The Vector ePCI power supply passed all testing and is the only brand listed on the approved NAVSEA drawing. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. A sources sought notice was posted to NASA SEWP and SAM.gov from April 29, 2025 to May 8, 2025, yielding no responses from capable sources on NASA SEWP and four responses on SAM.gov. The J&A was approved by Contracting Officer Brian Carpenter on June 5, 2025.
