2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR SOLE SOURCE BASED ON

CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION

The Navy’s Passive Countermeasures Systems (PCMS) program is directly responsible for carrying out lifecycle RCS signature tests of various vessels within the Navy fleet.

The Permanent Motion Measurement System (PMMS) is a computer-based data collection and telemetry system. The PMMS system used to continuously log as well as transmit the ship’s position, wind and attitude data. This data received from the ship’s digital data bus -

FODMS (Fiber Optic Data Management System) or GEDMS (Gigabit Ethernet Data

Management System). The data logged during PCMS testing by the PMMS unit and by the shore-based radar system.

American Systems has designed and built approximately ten of these PMMS-G2 units for

Code 741 based on requirements developed by Code 741 and American Systems engineers.

Competition is not feasible for this procurement because the PMMS-G2 contains firmware and software that are proprietary to American Systems. Procuring this unit from another vendor would result in a completely different system incompatible with the current fielded system.

3. MARKET SURVEY

Market survey was conducted, and it was determined that no similar motion measurement units exist in the commercial marketplace that could meet the Government’s need.

was used for cost estimation purposes.
