SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION

Fiber Optic/ Electrical Feed-Throughs

PR 1300581117

BACKGROUND:

NUWCDIVNPT, Code 1535 has been tasked by NAVSEA PMS 401 to provide DT-100 hydrophones to the fleet. The modernized (the upgrading of DT-699 Modules to DT-100 Modules) HFSA modules (DT-100) will be used to re-stock inventory and to fulfill requisitions for in-service submarines. The unique pressure rated bi-directional fiber and electrical feed-throughs are DT-100 First Article Testing qualified parts. PAVE holds the patent on these parts and does not sell it to independent distributors or vendors.

Previous contracts: N66604-15-P-0016/PR1300451375 and N66604-13-P-0871/PR 1300325171

The period of performance is May 30, 2017 (12 weeks ARO at a min rate of 50/month of each line item).

REQUIREMENT:

Sole Source Justification:

The PAVE fiber optic and electrical feed-throughs are form/fit/function unique. There are several steps required to approve a new part for fabrication and installation. It is estimated that acquiring a different make and model fiber optic/electrical feed-throughs would cost the Navy an additional cost as well as create an additional delivery delay to the fleet of at least eighteen to twenty-four months.

RESELLERS:

PAVE Technology Inc. does sell directly to the Government.
