This is a sole source justification. Contracting activity is the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001 (Contracts Department Code 02).

2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved.

This action will award a firm fixed price purchase order to North Atlantic Industries, 110 Wilbur Place, Bohemia, NY 11716-2416, for the acquisition of commercially available synchro modules and synchro connectors.

3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency's needs (including the estimated value).

The following commercial items are being acquired:

Item Part Number Quantity

SIU31 = 1x3U cPCI slot, SIU31-28553 16 each 3 Functions Configured With:

Slot 1 = 75ARM1-2-SC1SD5SD52140WH210 3U cPCI ARM PS Slot = 75PS4-D100WH1 Power Supply Unit, 3U

SIU31 Mating Connector KIT – SIU31-CONN-KIT 16 each For development use only.

The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. This memo does not authorize acquisition for other requirements. This purchase will be executed using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13.5 and for commercial items that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold but not exceeding $7,000,000.

The requirement is estimated at $368,896 based on commercial catalogue pricing. All equipment will be delivered no later than twenty (20) weeks after award of the order. The contract action will be funded with FY 2019 Other Procurement, Navy (OPN) funds.

4. Identification of the justification rationale and, if applicable, a demonstration of the proposed contractor's unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service. 10 U.S.C.

2304(c)(l), 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(l)(B).Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements FAR 6.302-l(a)(l)(iii)(B).

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(l), this procurement is sole source for the following reasons.

Synchro's and resolvers are transformer-type voltage/current transducers that convert a shaft or other rotating device's angular position and/or velocity to a multi-wire AC electrical signal. Both deliver signals proportional to the Sine and/or Cosine of the shaft angle. A Resolver-to-Digital or a Synchro-to-Digital converter is used to convert these signals to a digital output corresponding to the shaft angle and/or velocity. North Atlantic Industries offers multichannel programmable, isolated output, synchro and/or resolver measurement Synchro/Resolver-to-Digital function modules, for all the multifunction intelligent 1/0 cards and platforms. Covering the range of excitation voltages/ frequency and field parameter programmability, the function modules are able to interface to virtually any type synchro or resolver. All Synchro/Resolver-to-Digital function modules feature background wrap-around self-test capability and most platforms support an optional programmable AC excitation supply synchro modules and connectors manufactured by NAI have been designed and ruggedized to meet harsh shipboard environments. These modules compatible with the PINS system and meet the stringent U.S.

Navy environmental requirements of MIL-STD-810E, the critical shock requirements of MIL-S- 901D, the vibration requirements of MIL-STD-167, and the EMl/EMC requirements of MIL- STD-461E. As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does expects significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement. Therefore, it is in the Governments' best interest to award on a sole source basis to North Atlantic Industries.
