The RF Cable Assembly is necessary for proper operation of the AN/SSQ-137 SSEE INC E system. To deviate from the approved configuration, or item description would adversely affect the standard configuration and require extensive software and / or hardware installation changes not feasible with existing Navy Working Capital Funding provided for system sustainment. In order to ensure that the RF Cable Assemblies are manufactured to their factory operation, only the OEM, can make the units to their original condition. If any other company was to manufacture, the government would create the risk that they would not create them to the correct condition in order to be compatible with The Ship System Exploitation Equipment, (SSEE) An/SSQ-137 system since they do not have the propriety rights that Glenair, Inc. possess. If the government was not to use the OEM, it would cause the government lost time and additional costs when other companies are unable to manufacture these RF cable assemblies.
