- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWCPC) intends to issue a sole-source purchase order to EADS Defense and Security Systems (EADS), Newport South, United Kingdom for the fabrication and delivery of one (1) wet-end connector and one (1) dry-end connector for the MH-60S / Organic Airborne Surface and Influence Sweep (OASIS) tow cable. This effort is sole source for the following reasons. EADS is the sole designer and original equipment manufacturer of the MH-60S/OASIS tow cable. The tow cable is a custom built tow cable with the specific hydrodynamic and acoustic properties of the system as a whole in mind. As the OEM of the tow cable, only EADS has the in-house resident knowledge to properly fabricate the wet and dry end connectors for the tow cable. Use of another company to fabricate the connectors may introduce new, or change existing parameters that may induce unacceptable error into the OASIS system and the MH-60S helicopter. Failure to have a pr operly functioning tow cable could result in significant damage to the OASIS and maybe even loss of the MH-60S. Therefore it is imperative that this effort is awarded to EADS immediately.
