4. Specific characteristics of the material that limit the availability to a single source e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.

The Harris 7800i intercom system is proprietary to Harris Corp. The technical data package (TDP) is not available to anyone else other than Harris Corp. Upgrading the phase 4 equipment to phase 5 will require the use of the technical data package to ensure correct components are procured and installed properly, without degradation to fit, form, or function.

5. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

X The material or service 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:

Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) 1.1 baseline configuration includes the Harris 7800i intercom phase 5 equipment. ACV 1.1 currently has phase 4 equipment on hand that has been used to support testing and limited training. This phase 4 equipment was procured prior to the release of phase 5 equipment. The phase 4 equipment must be upgraded to a phase 5 configuration to match current phase 5 equipment being procured. Phase 5 equipment contains multiple hardware and software upgrades. Some features of the phase 5 equipment, like global black out and global night vision are not available on phase 4 equipment; but are required features for the equipment to be used by the Marines.

X A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data and corresponding level of Government rights (if any) are described as follows:

The 7800i intercom system is a proprietary Harris system. Harris is the only organization that has access to the TDP that will enable them to perform this upgrade. To date Harris has retained all proprietary and intellectual property rights to the technical data.

X These are “direct replacement” parts/components for existing equipment and similar parts/components will not meet the Navy’s requirement.

Phase 4 equipment is no longer offered by Harris and is no longer available for procurement. Harris now builds the Phase 5 intercom which has numerous hardware and software upgrades. This upgrade is required so that configuration management issues are not experienced as additional material is procured and fielded. Additionally, upgrading the phase 4 equipment to phase 5 is approximately 69% cheaper per unit than procuring all new equipment. Harris owns all technical data relating to the 7800i and all information relating to this upgrade is proprietary to Harris Corporation. No other company or organization has the technical data required to perform this upgrade.

Attempting to have another company or organization perform this upgrade, will introduce significant risk and will fail, as they will not have access to the technical data package to properly complete this upgrade.
