Registration information can be found at www.sam.gov. For information on this acquisition contact Jennifer Vatousiou at jennifer.m.vatousiou.civ@us.navy.mil . These Comark brand VDDs and BDUs are solely manufactured and sold by Comark, they confirmed they do not use resellers/retailers for any of their military products. These components are approved by NAVSEA for use in the AN/BYG-1 TI16 through TI24 Combat System with Virginia Class Submarines, and are a part of the system hardware baseline. No other hardware has been approved for this purpose. The Government does not have enough of these VDDs/BDUs ready for issue to support annual demand, buying new units is expected to be a faster turnaround than evaluation and repair, and anticipated to be more cost effective than testing alternative hardware as Form-Fit-Function equivalent. The Government estimates the associated cost with moving to another model and manufacturer would be as follows, as well as, a failure level of mission critical. Based on the above, it is crucial to procure these units in accordance with the overall submarine baseline requirements. These VDDs and BDUs are fielded throughout submarine platform variants and no substitutes have been confirmed as form/fit/function equivalent at this time that could fill this shipboard requirement. Waiting for all design, development, and environmental qualification efforts associated with approving an alternate product or hardware reconfiguration would cause a significant delay in scheduled installs and be detrimental to success of the overall program. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the government to solicit this requirement on a sole source basis.
