This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. The parts being purchased are slightly modified COTS items originally manufactured by Sekai Electronics. Sekai Electronics is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of these items. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has conducted a qualification program for manufacturers of LCAC System Upgrade and SLEP displays and has determined that it is necessary to purchase the same units for the remaining craft. This qualification program involved extensive testing to ensure 100 percent compatibility with the display signals of the LCAC systems. These installed displays are integrated into the display console and craft wiring, and are compatible with the Alarm Monitoring System (AMS), Sperry Bridgemaster E Radar and the Foruno FAR-2127 Radar, Radar Interface Converter Unit (RICU), and Navigation Processor Unit NPU or Keypad Video Navigation KVN unit. Other displays would require craft rewiring, qualification and extensive re-testing.
