    Title
    Posted
    The document serves as a justification for the use of other than full and open competition in acquiring a two-year warranty for SIMRAD radars installed on naval surface ships. The Commander of Naval Surface Forces Pacific, in collaboration with NAVSUP FLCSD, identifies the necessity of this warranty, as SIMRAD is the sole provider capable of servicing its proprietary equipment. The estimated total cost for the warranty is $176,276. The justification outlines that the urgency of the requirement arises from the radars' lack of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), necessitating continued operation until replaced by the Next Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR). The justification cites FAR regulations allowing for sole-source solicitation when only one source is available, highlighting that other manufacturers' involvement would void the warranty. A detailed certification process confirms the information's accuracy and completeness, ultimately leading to a recommendation for approval of this procurement route. This document emphasizes the government's regulatory compliance and strategic management of essential military assets.
