NONCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT JUSTIFICATION

(Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAPs) Micropurchase Threshold to $150K)

The service or product(s) listed on requisition(s) below is/are precluded from competition for reasons indicated below.

SWXM182123

There are no suitable substitutes available.

Restricted to the following source. Provide original manufacturer’s name. (If a sole source manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.)

Description of the product or services required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date (products) or Period of Performance

(services).

AC/DC Power Supply;

Encoder Asy;

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.

The listed parts are built to meet the form, fit, and function of the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 EW system. Modifying an existing commercial off the shelf (COTS) item would be a costly and time-consuming process;

. builds these components specifically for the High Gain High Sense subsystem of the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 EW system. The results of the market research revealed that we were unable to locate alternate sources of supply and is the only feasible source of supply due to the complexity and specificity of the components.

Further delay will lead to the inability of fleet failures to be corrected.

For non-personal services indicate the highly technical 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 in time to perform the requirement?

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.

FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

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 interface with the existing system.

The presently installed products are manufactured by Tecom Industries Inc. for the High Gain High Sense subsystem. The products are designed so that the attaching hardware and electrical connections align with the existing equipment. The AC-DC Power

Supply converts input AC power to output DC power at the correct voltage. The Encoder Assy is a component that specifies the radial position of the High Gain High Sense Antenna.

Patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, technical data, secret processes, or other propriety data essential for contract performance limits competition. The proprietary data is:

These are “direct replacements’ parts/components for existing equipment.

The OEM of the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 system cites Tecom Industries as the OEM of these components.
