N00164-21-Q-0045 – SOLE SOURCE – BRAND NAME COHERENT INC TEST EQUIPMENT– PSG 6625 - NAICS 334515 ISSUE DATE 14 DEC 2020 – CLOSING DATE 17 DEC 2020 – 4:00 PM Eastern Time ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for the purchase of test equipment from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Coherent, Inc. of Santa Cara California. Test products combine to make a test system in support of the Joint Biological Point Test System (JBPDS) breakout below: QTY 4, Lab Max TOP Laser Power & Energy Meter (RoHS) Contains Lithium Ion, P/N1104622, QTY 4, J-25MT-10KHZ: EnergyMAX Sensor (RoHS), P/N 1110747 QTY 4, LaserCam HR II 2/3" USB Camera System (RoHS), P/N 1282870QTY 4, C-VARM (Continuous Variable Attenuator), P/N 33-3336-000 The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate for Brand Name purchase with one source, Coherent, Inc, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1. This is being sole sourced because NSWC Crane currently houses the previous version of the Coherent Inc. test equipment. Due to a required upgrade of computer equipment, the current test equipment is not compatible with windows 10 that subsequently updated as well. The equipment listed above is the new upgraded version of the Coherent Inc. test equipment and is compatible with windows 10. The Government must procure the Coherent Inc. test equipment to ensure continuity with the current equipment. New test equipment would contain new software that would have to align to the current in house software and there are no guarantees that this would transition. In addition, there is no guarantee that another vendor’s product would be compatible with the JBPDS. Both of these reasons would lead to extensive funding to make the equipment compatible as well as increased schedule delay. Units are currently down for testing to procure and receive the test equipment which is already causing the schedule to move to the right. The aforementioned risk to cost and schedule would not be recouped via competition. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency.
