## Description

The Naval Air Systems Command PMA-265 awarded a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Mercury Systems Inc. for the procurement of dimming curve firmware updates of 320 Cabin Pressure and On-Board Oxygen Generating Monitoring System (CPOMS) Cabin Pressure Altimeter (CPA) (part number ASI9121) units, new labels for the updated units, ready for issue (RFI) testing of the units, and options for major/minor repairs for units not RFI. The ASI9121 CPA is the central component of the CPOMS.

All external sensors interface to this device. The CPA provides the pilot with pressurization and system status data to ensure a safe flight. The system records all sensor data as well as any Built in Test (BIT) faults obtained during flight. The CPA is the central component that collects and stores sensor and in-flight data for post mission retrieval. The CPA software, which provides this functionality, is embedded within the CPA.

Mercury Systems Inc., as a supplier to Boeing, is the Original Equipment Manufacturer; developed the firmware update; and has the existing infrastructure, facilities, and equipment to flash the upgrade. The Government awarded the contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Mercury is the sole designer and producer of the CPA used in CPOMS and has the approved facilities and equipment necessary to meet the schedule requirements.
