1. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED SUPPLIES/SERVICES, ESTIMATED VALUE, AND

DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

Cardinal Engineering shall perform reviews of CFE and GFE Columbia Class program office commitments for compliance with shock requirements as invoked by OHIO Replacement (OR) Class Ship Specification Section 072, and its subsidiary specifications to support program office and approval authority deadlines. Reviews vary by complexity, and this performance work statement will be limited to medium complexity reviews.

MANUFACTURER:

Cardinal Engineering, LLC 1220 12th St SE, Suite 140 Washington DC 20003-3723

2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR SOLE SOURCE BASED ON

CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THEACQUISITION

Cardinal Engineering is the only source available to provide the consistent support needed as they are contracted under N0016720D0016 to perform reviews of CFE and GFE Columbia (CLB) Class program office commitments.

Therefore, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), the circumstances of this contract action deem only one source to be reasonably available.

3. MARKET SURVEY

No market survey was conducted because Cardinal Engineering was previously contracted under N0016720D0016 to perform low, medium, and high complexity reviews of CFE and GFE Columbia Class program office commitments and is therefore the only vendor capable of providing the necessary consistency of reviews. In addition, having an additional contractor supporting the same shock program would increase costs associated with the required number of meeting participants.

4. ADDITIONAL FACTS

The independent government estimate is based on similar past contracted efforts to support CLB Shock Systems Integration Team.
