FOR ADD-ONS, PROVIDE VALUE OF OPTION YRS REMAINING

No extra options necessary.

4. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is:

Brief narrative supporting the situation and weapon system:

This rectifier is the only rectifier approved for use by NAVSEA in the Nimitz Class Electronic Steam Plant Control System with SCD 12832 installed. It has been tested and verified for the harsh environments of the propulsion plants. The input voltage, power rating, voltage regulation, overload current, short circuit current, and other various parameters of this rectifier specifically meet the requirements of the Electronic Steam Plant Control System. Both electrical and structural drawings are developed to install this specific rectifier and cannot be substituted as stated by NAVSEA. These rectifiers intend to improve system

6. Efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable are: [ ] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about __________________.

[ ] Manufacturers of similar products identified in the market research will be solicited.

[ ] Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited.

[ ] A synopsis exception cited in FAR 5.202 applies. (explain) [X] Other. (Explain) NAVSEA Drawing 302-8786954 requires this part to be sourced from DRS.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

Discuss relevant pricing issues, including the basis for determining that the anticipated price/cost will be fair and reasonable. Also include length of contract, quantity, and other contract particulars bearing on the price.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Describe the market research conducted and the results. The extent of market research required for a procurement varies depending on the estimated dollar value, complexity of the item or service and other factors including, the type of item or service, urgency of the requirement and past experience. However, narrow market research (i.e.

only using market surveys; only contacting the approved source or past awardees) is inadequate.

DRS is the sole source for the CVN 68 Class Electronic Steam Plant Control Rectifier post SCD 12832 per installation drawings. This part was carefully chosen based on the reliability and operating requirements of the rectifier. Cost to find a suitable replacement, achieve NAVSEA approvals, re-design both electrical and structural drawings, and adapt installation paperwork could cost more than twice the current estimated cost from DRS. The cost would be financially prohibitive, and timeline does not meet the operational requirements.

Market Survey [10 U.S.C. 3204(e)(2)(D)]:

[X] A market survey was conducted on/during 3/21/2024.

Total number of vendors contacted: 1.

Names of vendors contacted and responding: DRS Pivotal Power.

Techniques used to conduct survey: email correspondence.

Types of information requested: Lead time and cost of 8ea rectifiers.

Summary of information received:

Quotation including the lead time and cost of 8ea rectifiers.

Information received regarding the commerciality of the item(s):

This item is available commercially. Prior contracts numbers are SPMYM219P0785 and SPMYM221P0610.
