- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC PC) intends to issue a sole source contract to ADI Limited, Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Division, Cowper Wharf Road, Garden Island, Australia, on a sole-source basis for the acquisition of one (1) Sweep Tracker Monitor System (STMS4) to interface with the Advanced Acoustic Generator (AAG) and the Infrasonic AAG (IAAG). The AAG is a water driven turbine powered acoustic generators that produces ship emulation and can be integrated with any sweep system. The IAAG is the low frequency variant of the Australian Acoustic Generator (AAG). This procurement is sole source for the following reasons. The STMS4 is designed for deployment with the AAG and IAAG to provide positional tracking data and to facilitate control of both manned and unmanned operations. The STMS4 is unique equipment that is only manufactured by ADI Limited. The STMS was manufactured exclusively to interface with the AAG and IAAG. There are no distr ibutors. The AAG and IAAG as well as the STMS4 are proprietary to ADI Limited. NSWC PC has successfully evaluated this equipment for use in the US Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Fleet having acquired the equipment under contract N61331-06-C-0030 and N61331-07-D-0006. Use of alternate equipment will invalidate these tests. Contracting with another company to design an alternate to the STMS would require extensive development funds that ADI has already expended and will not be cost effective for the US Navy. Additionally, numerous patent issues could require resolution. In summary, the Sweep Tracker Monitor System is only available from ADI Limited. NAICS Code: 334419. FSC Code: 5845. Delivery will be to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City, 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407.
