About this file
This document is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification (SAM) form for procuring 15 Exeltech XP1100 Sinewave Inverters, DC to AC Power Inverter, 1100Watt, 120VAC, 24VDC, 60HZ. The procurement is specifically for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Corona Division's Weapons Impact Scoring Set (WISS) system, which is deployed across training ranges to provide objective scoring and assessment of air support proficiencies.
The justification emphasizes that Exeltech equipment has been specifically selected, tested, and verified to operate reliably in harsh environments where WISS systems are installed. The equipment has been proven to integrate seamlessly with existing systems, and continuing its acquisition is advantageous due to compatibility, minimized operational costs, and the fact that range operations and maintenance personnel are already trained on Exeltech equipment. The document notes that identifying and validating an alternative would require extensive testing, including developing new software drivers and undergoing a rigorous approval process, which is estimated to involve significant labor and associated costs.
