Commanding Officer, Trident Refit Facility (TRF) is requesting to upgrade their B29200 Motor Test Stand, Model PC-6/Serial #344 as specified in the Performance Work statement (PWS). The B29200 external DC field supply needs to be removed and upgraded to the internal ADDvantage32 DC Drive hardware. Components of the B29200 has failed and is currently outdated and therefore cannot be repaired. It is vital for this system be upgraded to the ADDvantage32 Drive to prevent obsolescence and maintain shop readiness for the testing and repairing of high value electrical equipment. This motor test stand is one of two at TRF designed to operationally test and season the submarine DC pump motors that are critical to mission readiness. Consequently, the unit has not been operational for several months leaving the B30003 Motor Test Stand as the only means of testing the DC Pump motors. NIS is the designer and manufacturer of the ADDvantage32 (ADD32) DC Drive hardware line and all associated products and components. NIS is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this hardware. The equipment contains proprietary hardware and software designs owned by NIS. As such, NIS is the sole-source provider of new assemblies and components for the ADD32 and ADD32+ product line. The ADDvantage32 DC hardware, associated products and components are used in the B29200 Motor Test Stands. This upgrade includes the ADDvantage32 DC Hardware and parts that will replace/or add onto the existing equipment and buying any other brand will risk hardware compatibility and workability. There are no other products or hardware available in the market that are compatible to repair this essential piece of equipment. There are also no authorized distributors or 3rd parties that provide the B29200 Test Stand, ADDvantage32 DC Hardware and components or service and repairs to these items.
