C/2370 is requesting the above MSI load cell support equipment, to upgrade our SPS/refueling C/740 load indicating devices at PSNS. These retrofit kits were custom designed for load indicating devices that we have ordered, with our SPS/refueling technical ordering data. We currently have the load cells in our inventory; they need to be retrofitted to upgrade them and keep them certified in our inventory.

The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

X The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Justi Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

The above requested MSI retrofit kits, readouts, install totes, and battery well assemblies were requested to upgrade our current MSI load indicating devices in SPS/refueling operations. These retrofit kits were custom designed with the manufacturer and C/2370 as a solution to upgrade our current load indicating devices, instead of having to replace our load cells entirely. There is not an acceptable substitution for these kits during solicitation.

These are "direct replacements" parts/components for existing brand name equipment.
