Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVAIR WARFARE CTR AIRCRAFT DIV has issued a Sources Sought notice for an AWTS SWITCH MODULE. The Government intends to award a sole source contract to Eclypse International Corporation, citing their unique position as the original designer, developer, and manufacturer with exclusive technical data. Responses from interested parties are due April 13, 2026.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for an AWTS SWITCH MODULE. The Government's justification for a sole source award to Eclypse International Corporation is based on their proprietary knowledge and technical data. Eclypse International Corporation is the only known qualified source capable of satisfying the U.S. Navy's specific requirements, as they designed and solely maintain the technical drawing package for these items.
Sole Source Justification
Awarding to any other source would necessitate reverse engineering and re-qualification of equipment, a process estimated to take an additional 24 months. Such a delay would adversely affect the Squadrons' ability to perform their duties in supporting the Warfighter. Therefore, the Government cannot provide the necessary technical details to another contractor and believes these efforts cannot be performed by another source.
