About this file
This document is a justification for a sole source award. The Naval Sea Systems Command requires six-channel down converters for use in the Photonics Imaging Mast PEPI-3 Electro-Optical Engagement Array currently installed on naval vessels. Narda Miteq is certified by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center as the only source that can meet all technical and environmental specifications for this system. Developing and certifying an alternative supplier would require extensive testing and verification by the Program Manager to ensure all functional and performance standards are satisfied, costing an estimated amount over an estimated period of time. Due to unacceptable delays and duplication of costs that would result from competitive procurement, it is in the government's interest to award this sole source contract to the incumbent, Narda Miteq, to provide replacement down converters until these systems reach end of life.

Text version
v1.6_FEBRUARY2021 achieved. Narda Miteq is the only source certified by NUWCDIVNPT to meet all the PEPI-3 EEA and Photonics Imaging Mast system specification requirements. Narda Miteq currently possesses the unique knowledge, expertise, and manufacturing facilities required to produce and deliver the 6-channel down converters for the PEPI-3 EEA.
In order to develop and certify a second source of supply for the 6-channel down converters, the PARM (PMS435) would have to certify a prospective design to ensure all the functional, performance, and environmental requirements of the PEPI-3 EEA are satisfied. The table below identifies the tasks, schedule, and estimated cost that would be required:
Based on the above, it is in the Government’s best interest to award this requirement to Narda Miteq on a sole source basis to prevent unacceptable delays and substantial duplication of costs in providing 6-channel down converter components.
RESELLERS:
This is a commercial part; will continue to contract with Narda Miteq on a sole source basis to support repair of Photonics Imaging Mast PEPI-3 EEAs using new 6-channel down converters for the Fleet until these units reach end-of-life. As such, there are no actions to remove barriers to competition at this time.
Requiring Department:
