PART II - Technical Information and Certification

1. The US Army TACOM LCMC requires the acquisition of the above item. The only approved source(s) for the above item is (are):

Contractor(s) Name: RAYTHEON Company 2501 W. University Dr M/S 8030 McKinney, Texas 75071-2813 Cage:96214

Part Number: 4977419-2

2. Reasons the item is not suitable for full and open competition:

a. Status of the Acquisition Data: There is no technical data available at this time that can be used to support competitive purchasing of Circuit Card assembly P/N 4977419-2.

b. Efforts to Increase Competition or Qualify a New Source in Relation to this Procurement: To date the government has not purchased the data from Raytheon regarding the present proprietary design by which competition of this item may be accomplished. At this time funding to purchase or develop competitive data is not available. It is estimated that to develop competitive tech data that it would take 12 months and $1,000,000 to reverse engineer this item after which it would then take an additional $2,000,000 and 24 months in order to qualify a new vendor.

c. Demonstration of Approved Contractor's Unique Qualifications:

Raytheon has passed all on-vehicle testing as necessary for Army use, and has produced all the units on vehicles and spares for this item that are in the field at the time for the U.S. Army.

d. Efforts to Qualify Additional Suppliers for future procurements:

As stated in 2b above, it is not cost effective for the Government to consider competition of this spares requirement because of the lack of funding for developing competitive technical data, the length of time to qualify new technical data, and the absence of any future cost savings due to low purchase quantities.
