Other / Unclassified

This document is a Sole Source Memorandum for the production of AN/SQQ-32(V) UR6 Circuit Card Assemblies. It serves as a justification for awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole source basis to Innovative Professional Solutions (IPS).

This memorandum details the agency's need for AN/SQQ-32(V) UR6 Circuit Card Assemblies, which are critical components for the AN/SQQ-32(V) Towed Body Sonar on Avenger Class combat ships. It explains that IPS is uniquely qualified due to their developed procedures, training, and experience with the specific sonar system and its unique tooling requirements. The justification highlights component obsolescence avoidance as a key driver for this acquisition. The estimated value is not to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.00. The document indicates that competition is not expected to yield significant savings and could lead to unacceptable delays, thus supporting the sole source award to IPS.
