SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION

Repair Services for SubHDR LRU parts

1300733660

BACKGROUND:

of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is designated as the Technical Direction Agent (TDA) for the Submarine

High Data Rate (SubHDR) System as well as the functioning National Maintenance Center for the SubHDR Mast Group. In fulfilling these roles, NUWCDIVNPT has a requirement for the repair of the sole source parts that are supplied by Raytheon.

REQUIREMENT:

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) , requires the repair of SubHDR Lowest Reparable Unit (LRU) parts to support as follows:

CLIN Quantity Description Price

0001 1 Job Repair of Submarine High Data Rate (SubHDR)

System Lowest Reparable Unit (LRU) parts:

• Qty. Three (3) High Volt Power Supply

P/N G772262-1

• Qty. Three (3) Inverter Assemblies P/N

G772272-1/2

• Qty. Two (2) Electronic Modules P/N

G608309-1/3

SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:

Raytheon specified parts are a proprietary item of Raytheon Corporation, and the Navy did not purchase the complete design or drawing rights for the individual component parts on the original production contract, a second source would have to develop their own form fit function replacement parts which would result in additional costs and unacceptable schedule impacts to the Government. According to FAR Clause 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements and substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition are applicable for this requirement.

Raytheon Corporation is the only company who can perform the required repairs, upgrades, and supply of new parts within the Government’s cost, schedule and performance requirements. The use of any other company would not be cost effective nor would critical schedules be met. Thus the development of a second source at this time is not in the best interests of the Government.

RESELLERS:

The NUWCDIVNPT In- Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for the SubHDR program has investigated similar Raytheon specific parts that might be replacements for the current ones used on the SubHDR Antenna. They have determined that there are no a form fit function parts that could be used as a replacement without significant system changes. The ISEA is currently conducting performance characteristic studies on several Raytheon specific parts used on the v1.2_JUNE2016

SubHDR Antenna. The program sponsor has funded this effort with the ultimate goal of writing a full performance specification for at least two of the specified parts to be solicited for open bid competition on a future contract for a better more reliable product.
