About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN). The contract is for procuring 562 Static Power Inverters (NSN 6130-20-000-3771, PROSINE 1800 / 24HW806-1851) from Xantrex Technologies Inc., specifically designed for the Stryker Family of Vehicles. The procurement consists of a base quantity of 281 units with a 100% option for an additional 281 units, though the total estimated contract value is redacted.
Market research conducted by the Ground Vehicle Systems Center revealed no commercially available alternative products meeting the specific requirements. The technical data for the Static Power Inverter is exclusively owned by Xantrex Technologies Inc., making it difficult to find alternative sources. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on SAM.gov on November 26, 2024, for 30 days, and no responses were received. The contract will be awarded as a commercial item, and the government does not have rights to the Technical Data Package. Previous contracts for similar inverters were awarded to distributors like Donatini Inc. and MDS Power Inc. in 2023 and 2020, with varying competitive statuses.

Previous J&A: SPRDL1-23-R-0081
In addition to the Sources Sought Notice, additional market research was performed by the Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Sustainment Engineer, on September 10, 2024, to review the cost and competition considerations. Extensive research was performed through online inverter manufacturers and suppliers using known requirements for the current requirement and key word terms in the search fields for the following websites:
• Waytek – A search on https://www.waytekwire.com using key words 1800W power inverter and Sine Wave yielded no results.
• Eaton – A search on https://tripplite.eaton.com using key words 1800W power inverter and Sine Wave yielded no results.
• InvertersRUs – A search on https://invertersrus.com using key words 1800W power inverter and Sine Wave yielded no results.
The results of this research indicate that there are no commercially available products that would meet the known requirements. The technical data for the Static Power Inverter is owned by Xantrex Technologies Inc., and as a result, it is difficult to find alternative sources that meet the requirements.
The Contracting Officer made the determination that the Static Power Inverter is a commercial item based on procurement history. The contractor was not contacted to request consideration for the U.S. Government to purchase the data rights/intellectual property at this time due to this item being commercial and actively manufactured.
