- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst intends to procure thirty-eight (38) Power Supplies, P/N: 9556-812-093XX in order to outfit Aegis Weapons System (AWS) and Ship Self Defense System (SSDS)-equipped ships with complete MK-162 Gridlock Computer Systems (GSCs). The Navy intends to solicit on a sole source basis from Brookx Company for the equipment identified above. As a result of the solicitation, NAWCAD Lakehurst intends to award one (1) Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. These power supplies are used as a part of the MK-162 GSC, which is a critical component of the AWS and SSDS combat systems as it provides positional data error-correction (referred to as "Gridlock") within the battle group's network-centric data links in order to achieve tactical targeting accuracy. These power supplies are a critical component of the MK-162 GSC's and will minimize MK-162 equipment downtime to as close to zero as possible while in mission critical situations at sea. All existing fielded MK-162 GSCs were designed specifically to connect with the unique design of P/N 9556-812-093XX. Additionally, this power supply has already undergone extensive qualification certification in the form of extensive First Article Testing (FAT) that included medium-weight shock & vibration tests, full Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) tests, and AEGIS and SSDS system-level integration certification tests across all versions of these combat systems currently fielded. This particular power supply is currently fielded as a part of existing fielded MK-162 GSC's onboard AWS and SSDS ships. The Brookx power supply identified above is the only known configuration that provides the necessary input power, current, and footprint required for the MK-162 GSCs and has passed all required certification testing while maintaining interoperability and interchangeability with existing fielded MK-162 GSCs and AWS and SSDS combat systems without requiring modifications to the currently fielded MK-162 GSC chassis. Brookx Company is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this power supply and remains the only known business entity to own the proprietary drawing package detailing circuit card electrical trace layout, component selection, and wiring harness assembly instructions. Without this proprietary data, the Government is not able to compete this effort. The Government intends to procure this equipment under the authority of 10 USC 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Section 6.302-1.
