Manuals normally provided with the radars (Bridgemaster E Radar Ancilliary Units and Radar Systems manual, technical manual, and user?s guides) ? Not Separately Priced. This purchase is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reasons: (1) The U.S. Navy has conducted a qualification program for manufacturers of radar systems for the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), and has determined that it is necessary to purchase the same radars for the non-service life extension program (SLEP) craft as the SLEP craft. This qualification program involved extensive testing to ensure 100 percent compatibility with the LCAC navigation systems; (2) Currently, the Bridgemaster E radar system, manufactured by Sperry Marine, has been installed on all completed SLEP LCACs, and has been on installed on some of the non-SLEP (pre LCAC-61) LCACs; (3) This radar system, as previously installed, is integrated into the SLEP navigation hardware and software that will form the basis for the NDI replacement gear; (4) Any other radar system would require extensive re-development and testing costs that could not be recovered through competition. It is! essential that the radars on the non-SLEP LCACs be identical to the SLEP LCAC radar systems to ensure the logistics chain established for the SLEP LCACs can be reused. Sperry Marine, as the Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM), is the only known source for this equipment.
