✔ Identification of the Justification Rationale: The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed.

A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition.

These are "direct replacements" parts/ components for existing equipment.

Urgency (rare)

Identification of the Justification Rationale Explained:

**If using form, fit, and function, describe the current equipment and how the new item/service must coordinate or interface.

**If using patent, copyright, proprietary data, describe the proprietary data.

**If using direct replacement, describe this below.

**If using urgency, describe when you became aware of the requirement and the impact of not having this complete by this time frame.

The hardware requested matches the TSCE baselines used in the Fleet today and is only available through the manufacturer. The In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for the baselines is NSWC Port Hueneme Division

(PHD). NSWC PHD is procuring parts and will assemble the various baselines in the lab at NSWC PHD. The ISEA's design specifies the requested brand for compatibility with the

Fleet. The hardware being procured is required to match the installed shipboard configuration to properly support engineering investigations, documentation development/validation efforts, and direct fleet support efforts. All current software and documentation is built around the specific hardware. The cost to re-engineer to accept an alternate, as well as, the cost to re-write associated support documentation (e.g. technical manuals, drawings) would be cost prohibitive. Additionally, the program could not use these items as battle ready spares if they do not match the installed fleet configuration.

Specific Characteristics of the Item or Service Required that Limit the Availability to a Sole Source or Brand Name:

**This is the most important section. Explain in detail why this company or brand are the only ones that can meet the requirement.

The hardware requested is currently used on platforms and is only available through the manufacturer. The requested hardware for purchase for use in the

Lab must be the exact same equipment as defined in Allowance Parts Lists (APLs) as they may be required for use as “battle ready spares” whereupon they will be removed and re-installed in U.S. Navy LCS platforms to resolve

Casualty Reports (CASREPs) and Automated Work Numbers (AWNs). Only equipment identified on APLs may be allowed for installation on U.S. Navy ships. Similar products by any other manufacturer might not meet form, fit and function requirements and may have unknown compatibility issues.

The requested FEI-Zyfer Gsync module is an integral piece of equipment used by all networked systems aboard

Independence-Class platforms and is only available through the manufacturer as shown through market research. Synchronous network time (to the millisecond) is provided by the FEI-Zyfer Gsync module to multiple systems on the ship which ensures that all systems are synchronized to prevent timing and communication issues.

Ship systems have been programmed to work specifically with this system and using a similar product by any other manufacturer is not acceptable as the FEI-Zyfer Gsync may be required for use as a “battle ready spare.”

Procurement of the FEI-Zyfer Gsync module will ensure that testing, procedural development, and distance support can be conducted in the LWEC Lab using has the same equipment on board ships. Procurement of the shipboard representative FEI-Zyfer Gsync module will also ensure that the ISEA will be able to accurately recreate the ship’s network system environment, recreate any hardware problems or anomalies and troubleshoot these issues at the

Lab.

Market Research Conducted:

This item must be the exact item identified by the In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEAs) at NSWC Port

Hueneme Division. These items are described in current Allowance Parts Lists (APLs), and hardware not identified on the APLs cannot be installed on platforms.

The item can only be purchased from the identified sole source, FEI-Zyfer, Inc.

Our market researched was conducted using the following Government Sources: Haystack, AbilityOne, UNICOR, FedMall and GSA Advantage. None of those sources had the hardware required.

The following item was found to be available from the manufacturer, FEI-Zyfer:
