Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition for the repair/modification of Wave Form Synthesizer (Antenna Group) parts. This sole-source acquisition, valued at an estimated $2,001,000.00, is for 23 units, with a final delivery date of October 11, 2027.
Scope of Work
This acquisition is for the procurement of 23 units of "ANTENNA GROUP" parts, specifically for their repair or modification. The effort aims to maintain operational readiness by ensuring continued support for these critical components.
Contract Details
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (Sole Source)
- Estimated Value: $2,001,000.00
- Period of Performance: Concludes with a final delivery date of October 11, 2027
- Published Date: June 9, 2026
- Product Service Code: 6625 (Electrical And Electronic Properties Measuring And Testing Instruments)
Rationale for Sole Source
The justification states that the government does not possess the necessary data or rights to contract for repair or purchase from additional sources. It has been deemed uneconomical to acquire these data/rights or to reverse engineer the parts. VERTEX MODERNIZATION & SUSTAINMENT 96JA0 is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the sole source with the unique expertise and proprietary technical data, repair processes, and design information required for continued support. Acquiring these rights would significantly exceed the cost of repair from the approved source, and this approach is critical to avoid unacceptable cost, schedule, and performance risks to operational readiness.
Market Research Efforts
Market research included an approved Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice on March 15, 2019. The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on June 18, 2025, which yielded no interest from industry. Technical reviews and database searches (ITIMP, MBPS, FLIS) identified Cage Code 78062, SARGENT AEROSPACE & DEFENSE LLC, as the only known approved manufacturing source, with no known distributors or substitutes.
Future Competition
NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts for this item due to the outlined reasons. However, future requirements will be assessed for competition feasibility if another potential manufacturing source emerges and will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
