20 -- SHIP AND MARINE EQUIPMENT SOL N00024--97-NR--53600 POC Mr. William C. Randolph/02423W 703/602-0200; PCO Mr. P. Troia/02423 703/602-0201 The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a sole source contract to Treadwell Corporation, Thomaston CT 06787. This proposed acquisition will provide for the procurement of a technical data package for the militarization of the non-militarized Digital Controller and Auxiliary Cubicles #1 and #2 of the Electrolytic Oxygen Generator (EOG) designed, manufactured, and conceptually demonstrated by Treadwell Corporation. Anticipated in this proposed acquisition are two (2) contract options: 1) for the fabrication of a production prototype of the militarized Digital Controller and Auxiliary Cubicles #1 and #2 and 2) for the installation of the delivered production prototype Digital Controller and Auxiliary Cubicles #1 and #2 in a Government-provided EOG for testing and qualification for suitability of installation aboard U.S. Navy submarines.-Treadwell Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the Electrolytic Oxygen Generator, and as such, is the only company with the technical expertise capable of providing the hardware and services required by the Navy within the critical time constraint dictated by the obsolescence of critical components of the analog controller currently in the fleet and the impending loss of contractor troubleshooting, repair, testing, and overhaul capability/availability for those obsolescent controllers.
