1300669841 and 1300673850

BACKGROUND:

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) On Site Office (OSO) Shipboard Electronic System Evaluation Facility (SESEF), Code 7033, has a requirement for the purchase of Test Set ( ) Azimuth (AZ) only Rotator and Single Axis Controller, from Rotating Precision Mechanisms, Inc. (RPM). The required TS will be installed at the SESEF site . The ULM-4 EWTS is the primary Test and Evaluation (T&E) System at SESEF which is used to conduct periodic maintenance of US Navy assets. The periodic testing is required by the US Navy Preventative Maintenance System (PMS) guidelines and is governed by the Commander Naval Forces instruction. The TS is an MCEB (Military Communication Electronics Board) approved ( ) system.

The required RPM parts were previously purchased in February 2014 under purchase order N66604-14-P-0726 in the total of in support of the SESEF site .

The anticipated value of this requirement is .

REQUIREMENT:

MFGR Part No Description/Title Qty

135750‐1 Rotator Assy, Model RG‐1053 AZ only 1

135475‐1 Controller Assy, Model CD‐2035A 1

135774‐2 Cable Assy, Signal (75ft) 1

100848‐X Cable Assy, Power (75ft) 1

Sole Source Justification:

In order to maintain the MCEB approval and the requirements of the SESEF test and evaluation system it is required that the TS components be form, fit, interface, and functionally identical to the existing components.

The RPM components have been previously qualified by SESEF to be used in the

TS Test and Evaluation system that is used to administer a Certification Test. The TS is the primary test system for the system. Fleet units are required by both the Preventative Maintenance System (PMS) and the War Fighting Improvement Program (WFIP) to conduct regular maintenance testing with SESEF and the

ULM-4 EWTS.

Incorporating different TS components is estimated to cost the Government and incur a schedule delay of . This cost impact and schedule delay estimate is v1.2_JUNE2016 comprised of the cost and time required to research and procure a new component, change to infrastructure and, configuration documentation to incorporate new components and labor hours for NUWC engineers.
