ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for a quantity of 200 PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMC) Part Number RRT-SPL2498-1 with an option to be executed within two (2) years of the award for an additional quantity of 200 of the PCI Mezzanine Cards Part Number RRT-SPL2498-1.

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source only Red Rock Technologies, Inc. out of Tempe, Arizona, cage code 00CP6, under the authority of FAR 12.201-1 for commercial products. This is being solicited on a sole source only basis because these PMC cards are a critical component within the AN/SPS-73 radar system and are being used to sustain legacy systems and fulfill CASREP requirements.  The new PMC cards are part of a legacy circuit card assembly that is being replaced by a new design. The new design is using the same PMC card as the legacy design in order to expedite qualification. Red Rock Technologies Inc is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these PMC cards.  The OEM cards have gone through an intense qualification and testing program to ensure compatibility with the AN/SPS-73 system.  Supplementing the supply with another vendor’s product would cost the Government approximately two years and roughly $1,000,000 to select or design a compatible replacement.  These costs would not be recovered in competitive action.
