BRAND NAME:

The specific system relies on the MVPS to power its mast-mounted antenna assemblies. The Vicor PI3749-00-LGIZ is a highly efficient, wide-input-range buck-boost switching regulator. It is a proprietary design with unique, non-standard specifications that cannot be matched by alternative Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) regulators:

• Specific Power and Efficiency Demands: High power-density configuration required to operate within the thermal and physical constraints of the MVPS housing.
• Form Factor & Footprint: Specific SMA size and precise pinout configuration that mounts directly onto the existing MVPS printed circuit board (PCB) layouts.
• Performance Characteristics: Rigid operational frequency tolerances designed to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) with sensitive submarine communication signals.
• Parallel Operation: Built-in capability for synchronized parallel operation to share load currents reliably without active current-share controllers

Based on the above, it is not reasonable to conclude the potential savings from competition can offset the significant duplicative cost and schedule and mission impact associated with purchasing a new brand name product.  Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to solicit and award this requirement on a brand name only basis.

Counterfeit Material: Any suspected material that is a copy or substitute without legal right or authority to do so or one whose material, performance, or characteristics are knowingly misrepresented by a supplier in the supply chain. Examples of counterfeit material include, but are not limited to:

Material which does not contain the proper internal construction consistent with the ordered material.

Material which has been used, refurbished or reclaimed, but represented as new product.

Material which has different package style or surface plating/finish than the ordered material.

Material which has not successfully completed the supplier’s full production and/or test flow, but is represented as completed product.

Material sold with modified labeling or markings intended to misrepresent the material’s form, fit, function or grade.

Material which has been refinished, refurbished, or upgraded and has been identified as

such, is NOT considered counterfeit.
