Explanation:
The International Guns Missiles and Rockets Project Team (IGMR PT), which is part of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MOD), intends to place a contract for the supply of critical Shear Wire No.10, Shear Wire No.11 and Ring Connector No.2 with EDO MBM Technology Ltd. The estimated total value of the proposed contract is £ 190,140.00 inc VAT, with a contract duration of 1-year firm buy.
It is considered that this contract award can be made to EDO MBM Technology Ltd because it can only be awarded to a particular economic operator for technical reasons.
EDO MBM Technology Ltd are the Design Authority (DA) to the current in-service Shear Wire variations and Ring Connector, which are cleared, qualified and certified as safe from both an airworthiness and munition safety perspective.
The Paveway Weapon System Certificate of Design’s validity is wholly dependent upon the use of DA approved components and consumables. Any divergence from these approved products would negate the use of Paveway until the weapon, components and consumables were re-certified and re-qualified from both an airworthiness and munition safety perspective. The introduction of a new item would require a re-qualification, re-certification programme to be undertaken for any new contractor, estimated at cost £1M+, Time 2 + years. Not procuring an item within this timeframe would stop the safe use of the weapon system and result in the loss of Operational Capability. As a result, only EDO MBM Technology Ltd items meet the UK MOD’s technical requirements.
