1. In accordance with reference (a) the following is submitted.

a. A brief description of the intended use or application.

NSWC IHEODTD has a requirement for unique Header Assemblies that will be used in an end-item cartridge assembly for the AF Ra il program. The header assemblies are requied no later than the 30 of October 2016.·

b. Description of the critical or unique features (patent, copyright, proprietary, etc.), which show no other item or source, can satisfy the Gov6nent's need.

Accratronics Seals Corporation developed a wligue header assembly to meet specific end-item manufacturing and perfonnance requirements in a previous NSWC IHEODTD requirement. The company has maintained proprietarv right<> to their source controlled drawings (#AT-7427 & #AT-7428) . . Current requirement must be created using these 11roprietarv drawings to be compatil?J,t;, with the system platform interfacing requirements in terms of fit, fom1, and function. T9 develop a second source drawing package for th<;jtems and then qualify them in the end-item cartridge assemblies would_require extensive ttine (possiblv 2-3 y:<;ars) and funding (as much as $750,000). therefore Rtocurement from the companv with proprietary drawings would provide substantial savil}gs to the government.

c. Describe the alternatives reviewed, which lead to the conclusion that only this particular source or product can meet the requirement.

NSWC IHEODTD contacted Accratronics Seals Corporation for permission to S\<nd their proprietaiy drawing to otlJ.~ r vendors. but Accratronics Seals Corporation refuse_<;! to give the Government pennission. Therefore. Accratronics Seals Corporation is t 1! ~ 9ll.!Y company capable ofproviding the header assembly. Based on this, no other market research will be perfonn~d at this time.

The above information must be certified as to the accuracy of the facts and re resentations contained in the re , . .
