RUBEN FINAL REDACTED-24-SIMACQ-E20-0004 LVPS Repair ATCH 10-SIGNEDMPP062424.pdf

Sole Source Justification under $250K

PID Number: N63394-24-SIMACQ-PHD-E20-0004

Department: E23

Company Name: Tokyo Denki Kagaku (TDK) Lambda Americas Inc.

Description of Product, Supplies or Services required to meet the agency’s needs:

Technical Code E63 requires the repair of QTY 24 Lambda Power Supplies. This is in support of the MK 73 Mod 3 Solid State Transmitter (SSTX), which is part of the MK 57 MODS 12 - 16

NATO Sea Sparrow Missile Systems (NSSMS).

Identification of Justification Rationale:

☒ The Material or service must be compatible will aspects (Form, Fit, and Function) with existing systems presently installed.

☐ A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition.

☒ These are “direct replacement(s)” parts/components for existing equipment.

☐ Urgency.

Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. IAW FAR 6.303-2(b)(4).

Identification of the Justification Rationale Explained: **If using form, fit, and function, describe the current equipment and how the new item/service must coordinate or interface.

**If using patent, copyright, proprietary data, describe the proprietary data. **If using direct replacement, describe this below.

The Lambda Power Supplies are required to support sustainment onboard Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear Powered and Landing Helicopter Dock (Amphibious) class naval ships. Further, the

Lambda Power Supplies have been tested and verified to be functional with the MK 73 MOD 3

(SSTX) and, therefore the Original Equipment Manufacturer TDK Lambda Americas Inc. are specifically identified as the repair source. No other Power Supply has been tested because the

Lambda Power Supply passed the tests verified by the NATO In-Service Engineering Agent

(ISEA) and was provisioned through the Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) process. The OEM is specifically identified because they are the only approved source of supply on the drawing used to manufacture the Power Supply. Therefore, the OEM is the only source capable and authorized to perform repairs on the Power Supply.

Specific Characteristics of the Item or Service required that Limit the Availability to a Sole

Source or Brand Name: **This is the most important section. Explain in detail why this company or brand are the only ones that can meet the requirement.

Original Equipment Manufacturer TDK Lambda Americas Inc. is the authorized repair source of

Low Voltage Power Supply called Lambda Power Supplies. If NSWC PHD were to utilize a different source, NSWC PHD would be required to undergo additional First Article Testing and generate an ECP. This effort would cost the government a substantial duplication of cost of approximately $50K that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Furthermore, the testing and ECP generation and approval would result in an unreasonable delay of approximately six months that would impact the CASREP support of CVN, LHD and LHA class ships. In addition, there are installation impact of new ships e.g. CVN 80, CVN 81, LHA 09.

Market Research Conducted:

In addition, the requirements generator conducted market research using sites such as GSA

Advantage, UNICOR, DoD ESI and Ability One to determine if any other vendors could provide a form, fit, function Power Supply and returned with no results found. The vendor TDK Lambda is the only approved source due to previous tests performed by the ISEA to approve the form, fit and function to the MK 73 MOD 3 SST.

Statement of Actions if any to Remove Barriers to Competition in the Future:

NSWC PHD Contracts Office will continue to conduct market research as warranted to provide a broader vendor base as applicable for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NSWC PHD will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
