Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features; function of the item;

unique capabilities; facilities or special equipment; etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

Brand Name Only. We need this specific part and part number to build the ITA (Interface Test Adapter) for Common Test Bench. The ITA was built by Northrop Grumman, which also owned the design of the ITA. The amplifier was called out in the material part's list for the ITA. The Depot wants to build an identical ITA base on the part's list provided by NGC, so there is no complication at the end. This amplifier is compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with ITA. Any other amplifiers would require research and testing, which ultimately affect the deliverable and the cost of the ITA.

This Equipment is a part of used to test

Tactical Jamming Receiver System and its variant and derivative systems (hereafter referred to as the . The is a part of the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Suite on the Navy’s the AEA Suite serving to identify enemy emitter locations (e.g., enemy radar sites), resulting in the suppression and/or attack of these emitters through the use of the ith organic repair capability to be maintained at NSWC Crane Division. The subject supplies and services are required to support NSWC Crane in its role as the Repair Depot Activity. This components will explicity more specificly be used for the build of adapters. The subject supplies and services are required to support NSWC Crane in its role as the Repair Depot Activity. These items are unable to be changed at this moment in time. These EWCRFTS are Northrop

Grumman testers that we are phasing from NGC to Crane. We are currently in the period of time where testers both reside at Crane and at NGC. Inturn NGC currently has production still in progression and they are the configuration control of all support equipment, including the This mean the current configuration of the cannot be modified unless the modification is driven from NGC. The cost to change the configuration would be and the schedule delay would be in the 6 month timeframe, even if this were possible.
