The total cost for repairs will be^WSBSK, with an EDD of 60days ARO. Request to have "Early and or partial shipments are authorized" included in the contract verbiage. These units are for the SSEE INC E program.

This will allow the performance based logistics- organic program at SPAWAR Charleston to have the required stock levels needed and ready to support the fleet and fulfill future requisition requirements.

4. Specific characteristics of the parts listed above that limit the availability to a sole source e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc. Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

These Amplifiers are necessary for proper operation for the Ship Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE Increment E), AN/SSQ-137 Program; to deviate from the approved configuration, or item description would adversely affect the standard configuration and require extensive software and / or hardware installation changes not feasible with existing Navy Working Capital Funds provided for system sustainment

In order to ensure that the amplifiers are returned to their factory operation, only the OEIVI can repair the units to their original condition. If any other company was to complete the repairs, it would create the risk that they would not restore them to the correct condition in order to be compatible with The Ship System Exploitation Equipment, (SSEE) An/SSQ-137 system since they do not have the propriety rights that Empower RF Systems possess. If the government was not to use the OEM, it would cause the government lost time and additional costs when other companies are unable to repair the amplifiers.
