As the , NUWCDIVNPT Code manages the repairs of the . In order to meet , NUWCDIVNPT requires the long lead motors to support repairs of

The motor is a critical item within the and installed in and must perform in various environments

Due to the various along with stringent requirements, the motor is a highly complex design that requires specialized manufacturing process to ensure the function and performance requirements are met. Moog Inc. currently possesses the unique knowledge, expertise, and manufacturing facilities required to produce and deliver these motors for

During system development, the motor performance and mechanical limitations were sent to multiple offerors. No offerors were able to come back with an acceptable solution other than Moog Inc. This part is now part of an and changing that component will incur large amounts of non-recurring engineering (NRE).

Any change to this approved part could significantly impact and will require substantial NRE dollars to qualify the new component. A revision to the would need to be generated, reviewed, submitted and approved.

This process would cost the Government approximately and take approximately . In addition to the testing would need to be qualified for an additional cost of at least and take approximately

Additionally, there would be a high risk of failure, meaning new NRE costs to identify another replacement and incurring and testing costs again.

Based on the above, it is in the Government’s best interest to award this requirement to Moog Inc on a sole source basis to prevent unacceptable delays and duplication of costs in providing motors.

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

Based on the analysis provided in Section 5, there is only one sole source supplier capable of manufacturing the required motors, Moog Inc. (CAGE Code: 99932).

In an effort to maximize competition and continue market research, in accordance with FAR 5.2, a combined synopsis and solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov (Government Point of Entry) inviting all potential offeros to submit a capability statement. Any challenges to this sole source will be brought to the attention of the Competition Advocate prior to contract award.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Costs

The contracting officer will conduct price analysis using FAR 13.106-3 and or 15.404-1(b) and 15.404-1(c) methods, in accordance with FAR 13.0003(g)(2) to determine the proposed prices fair and reasonable

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition

For the reasons described in Paragraph 5, including the unacceptable delays and duplication of costs, NUWCDIVNPT has no plans at this time to compete for a different vendor capable of producing the required motors. If another potential source emerges, NUWCDIVNPT will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
