Output voltage and current are controlled by the generator mounted voltage regulator. The Generator, Engine
Accessory and its subsystems can operate under extreme environmental conditions C. E. Niehoff & Co. is the only approved source of supply for the Generator, Engine Accessory. The Government does not have a complete build-to-print TDP nor proprietary rights that would be required to produce a competitive TDP. The Government possesses the Source Control drawing 12594722 and Performance Specification 12386539; however, these documents are insufficient on their own to reproduce the Generator, Engine Accessory.
C. E. Niehoff & Co. is the only qualified manufacturer of the Generator, Engine Accessory as they designed, developed, and successfully completed testing to meet the Performance Specification for the Generator, Engine Accessory 12386539. In addition, the Generator, Engine Accessory manufactured by C. E. Niehoff & Co. meets

C. E. Niehoff & Co. is the
Original Equipment Manufacturer for the Generator, Engine Accessory and retains the technical expertise of the item. Additionally, C.E. Niehoff & Co. has a proven track record to deliver as they are the only manufacturer to have been awarded contracts for similar Generators
Due to the lack of a drop-in replacement and limited technical data available for the Generator, Engine Accessory, Reverse Engineering (RE) is the only recourse for the Government to increase competition through development of a competitive build-to-print TDP. A significant amount of time and money would be necessary to reverse engineer, procure and test prototypes, release the design, and develop a competitive TDP. To complete the RE process successfully, the Government would have to obtain a sufficient sample size of existing parts to provide a ninety-percent confidence level in the size of the existing item to be studied. Once a large enough sample has been collected, the Government would then tear down and understand the design, develop new design, and conduct prototype development. Then the following testing would need to be performed:
Finally, the competitive TDP would be produced.
Utilizing a previous RE effort for Bradley generator as a basis of estimate, costs were
