Rationale for Sole Source
The Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document outlines the rationale for this sole-source award:
- Unique Expertise: GDMS is identified as the only known source possessing the requisite design background, system knowledge, and operational experience (over 50 years) with the TRIDENT II Fire Control Subsystem and Advanced Weapon Control System.
- Avoidance of Duplication Costs: Competing this effort would incur an estimated $266.9 million in unrecoverable costs, including developing Advanced Development Labs, training new personnel, and acquiring specialized tooling.
- Prevention of Detrimental Delays: Transitioning to another contractor would cause a minimum of two to three years of delay, severely impacting fleet readiness and national security.
