JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

JUSTIFICATION

1. Contracting Activity

The Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, (NSWC PHD).

2. Description of the Action Being Approved

NSWC PHD intends to award a new Firm-Fixed-Price contract for a

Teledyne Brand relay part number 412DVM4-26/SQ; Qty. 4000, in support of Air Dominance Department (Code A107). This hardware will be used on the Module Electronics Box (MEB) Circuit Card

Assembly (CCA) which is installed in the MEB, installed in the

Launch Sequencer (LSEQ) of the MK 41 Vertical Launching System

(VLS).

3. Description of Supplies/Services

NSWC PHD Air Dominance Department (Code A107) requires the

Teledyne relay for use in the MK 41 VLS. The MK 41 VLS is a surface ship combatant missile launcher that stores and launches a variety of missile types. The relay is a component on the MEB

CCA which will be installed in the MEB unit, to be installed in the LSEQ. The LSEQ checks for hazards and initiates the launch sequence.

The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel.

The total estimated value of the requirement is $454,440 and is composed of the following funding sources reflected in Table 1 below:

Table 1

Fund Type Year: FY21 Total Contract

SCN $450,440.00 $450,440.00

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open

Competition

10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by paragraph 6.302-1(a)(2) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR);When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source.

5. Rationale Justifying Use Of Cited Statutory Authority

MK 41 VLS has tested and integrated Teledyne relay for use in the MEB CCA. An attempt to identify and qualify alternate parts for the manufacturing of VLS equipment that will meet the requirements will cause a substantial duplication of cost to the

Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Specifically, the Navy would incur a non-recurring cost of $2,000,000.00 in order to identify and qualify alternate sources with the capability to produce the required equipment.

The $2,000,000.00 estimate derives from the Baseline VII Tech

Refresh efforts from 2011-2016 which included taking steps to ensure that any new sources are capable of producing a product that meets the established performance requirements. This includes the costs for the Government to conduct First Article

Tests, Confidence and Functional testing for form, fit and function. Additionally, the software program would have to be modified, and Shock and Vibration testing would need to be performed. If an alternate part is determined to be qualified, then additional resources would be required as all applicable documentations will need to be updated through Engineering

Change Process (ECP) to introduce the new alternate part.

Without the required Teledyne supply item, the Government cannot have a functional LCU, which will degrade the state of the system, and directly impact the fleet’s capability to launch missiles.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many

Offerors as Practicable

Sources Sought was posted on Beta.SAM from 14 Oct through 24 Oct

2020. Four responses received.

7. Determination Of Fair And Reasonable Price

The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government for the supplies covered by this J&A is fair and reasonable.

8. Actions To Remove Barriers To Future Competition

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NSWC PHD has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies covered by this document. If any potential sources emerge, the Government will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
