Specific characteristics of the material l or service that limit the avai lability to a sole source (unique features, function of the item: unique capabilities: facilities or special equipment, etc.). Describe in detail why only this s uggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other s ources. The parts listed here are called out as mandatory replacement pans on procedure 89 TRP 14 9297 Item #'s 128, 127, 198, 129, 191, 133, 107, 108, 196, 197. 106, 102, 122. 132 and 131(The item numbers are listed as they appear in order on this document). Rotating Precision Mechanisms , Inc. is the OEM for these item owning all proprietary data for the manufacture of these items, therefore the government is not able to evaluate a new vendor without knowing the technical characteristics of the aforementioned items and assemblies.

For non-personal services indicate the highly techn ical or specialized expertise required. Describe the contractor's workforce, methods. Materials or unique management or operating systems. If it is unique because of knowledge of key individuals , what is the basis of the knowledge that another firm could not obtain the same or equivalent expertise? Could another firm obtain the necessary highly specialized experience or technical capability i n time to perform the requirement? The specification to which the parts mentioned have to be built is in drawings that only Rotating Precision Mechanisms, Inc. is in possession of. Therefore, technicians and engineers, without access to this document, would not know how to manufacture these items and ensure they were built correctly and machined to specified tolerances. If the government were able to obtain the data rights to these items, it is estimated that it would cost in excess of $500,000 to evaluate, qualify and approve a new vendor, and cause a delay of more than 12 months . This would then hinder the ability of NSWC Crane to support the fleet, possibly causing ships to not have functioning SPQ-98 Fire Control Radar Systems.

X The required product(s) or service(s) represent(s) the minimum requirements of the Government and no other product(s) or service(s) can satisfy the need.

X The product(s) must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed.

Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate. Connect, or i interface with the existing system. These items are already installed on the SPQ-98 Antenna.

X Patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, technical data, secret processes, or other propriety) data essential for contract performance limits competition.
