BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE

The support items required for this procurement are mission critical component, the Matrix STIM WQ Visual Projector (P/N 130-002103-02), Multifunction Display (MFD) (P/N 822-2463-001), Control Display Unit (CDU) (P/N 822-2654- 001), and a Data Transfer Unit (DTU) (P/N 822-1867-002). These items are specific to CH-53K trainer (MCAS New River, NC) and is necessary for the sustainability of the training as it pertains to parts obsolescence, preventive training schedule slippage, timely maintenance and effective COMS support.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED

NAWCTSD is responsible for the development of the CH-53K Operation Flight Trainer (OFT) to include procurement of the support items for the training devices. Rockwell Collins manufactures the support item for the CH-53K OFT.

Rockwell Collins is the only vendor that has the specifications for the unique requirements to fabricate and procure the required support material for the training device to meet the form, fit, and function. Any other vendor would involve additional work and/or costs required to re-design and manufacture these support materials.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT MORE THEN ONE SOURCE

HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED.

Rockwell Collins is currently the subcontractor to the prime under contract for CH-53K SDD that supplies this component. Attempting to procure this part from any other vendor will result with unacceptable schedule delays in fulfilling USMC requirements and duplication of costs. Currently, there are no licensed distributors for Rockwell Collins parts. Using another vendor would also introduce potential integration issues affecting the operation of the training device. In the event of a repair, the absence of available support items would affect the sustainment of the training assets and ineffective training of students’ operational readiness.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED

Rockwell Collins is the only contractor that can meet the current requirements. The CH-53K program will take initiative to remove the barriers of competition at the training system level for future requirements. Future acquisition of CH-53K training spares will be included as part of the contract for new training devices and upgrades. It is the Government’s goal that small businesses will be provided the opportunity to compete as prime contractor for the training systems for future efforts.
