About this file
This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for a sole source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren for a DVE Control Panel, National Stock Number (NSN) 5836-01-556-9104. The DLA proposes to award a new Firm-Fixed-Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to DRS Network and Imaging Systems, LLC for a control panel used in the Integrated Vision System (IVS) on the Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV). The contract includes a guaranteed minimum of 18 units and a maximum five-year quantity of 66 units, with the total estimated cost redacted.
The justification explains that developing an alternative source would cost approximately $1.5 million, including technical data package development, product and manufacturing tooling, and testing and qualification. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice and internet searches, yielded no suitable alternative suppliers. The government lacks technical data rights, and DRS Network & Imaging Systems declined to sell their intellectual property. The contract is being awarded under the authority of 10 U.S. Code 3204(a)(1) for only one source that can satisfy the agency's requirements, with the DVE Control Panel being a critical component that interfaces with the vehicle's Integrated Vision System.

Previous J&A: SPRDL1-18-R-0168
The DVE Control Panel contains the IVS On/Off switch, and it allows the commander to control which camera the driver and commander are currently viewing. It also contains a joystick for controlling the gimbal pointing position. The control panel provides power to all IVS components and pulls video from all IVS cameras. It also allows the commander to determine range to the target by using the Laser Range Finder (LRF).
Finally, the DVE Control Panel contains seven control devices that include a system ON/OFF switch, a joystick for controlling gimbal position, switches to operate the gimbal, and a rotary switch to control the video signals.
The Government does not have rights to the Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications.
DRS, as the prime contractor, sourced the DVE Control Panel from subcontractor / Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) DRS Network & Imaging Systems, LLC, who developed the item leveraging their core intellectual property. Product Manager Bridging doesn’t have a data agreement with the OEM. Agreements between design contractors and OEMs are exclusive and such that the Government cannot procure technical data rights from the OEM.
DRS Network & Imaging Systems has demonstrated the ability to establish and maintain the processing required to successfully produce a finished item. This approved source has produced and qualified this part and associated assemblies to Government specifications for the ABV.
The engineering estimate for the cost of developing an alternative source includes TDP development from product tooling, manufacturing tooling, and testing and qualification as detailed below:
Task Estimated Amount TDP Development $600,000 Product Tooling $250,000 Manufacturing Tooling $200,000 Testing & Qualification $450,000
TOTAL $1,500,000
This estimate is purely an engineering estimate based on engineering experience with similar parts.
The Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Bridging Life Cycle Engineer estimated that the cost of qualifying another source for the DVE Control Panel would be approximately $1.5M, as detailed in the table above. This estimate is based on historical costs of comparable component redesign efforts.
TDP Development: The estimated cost of TDP development for this item is $600K.
This includes reviewing the TDP data on hand to compile the qualification checks
