The use of any other vendor would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Northrup was and is the original sole developer and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the AN/AQS24 system. The Government did not purchase or acquire the rights in data and design or a technical data package (TDP) to a sufficient level to support a competition for the AN/AQS-24 or the services needed to maintain, repair, or modify them. As the sole developer and OEM, Northrup, is the only source with sufficient in-depth knowledge of the AN/AQS-24 that could fabricate the parts, conduct repairs, and make the required design modifications to meet the Navy's requirements. Additionally, Northrup holds the proprietary data for the AN/AQS-24 system. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation is the only source that can satisfy the Government's requirements. The extended period of performance will provide an additional 36 months that will occur from 18 March 2027 to 17 March 2030, if all options are exercised. The NAICS code is 334511 and PSC 5845.
