Purchase Order N0017825P6643

The U.S. Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Amplifier Research Corp, a subsidiary of Ametek Inc., for the delivery of a specific RF amplifier model 10052384 operating at 1.0-6.0 GHz with 125W output. The $81,650.00 contract supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division's (NSWCDD) need for the amplifier to ensure proper calibration of probes and reduce equipment borrowing delays. This is a sole-source award, as introducing alternative manufacturers would require extensive approvals, redesign, testing, and personnel retraining. The contract is not set aside for small businesses and was awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Amplifier Research Corp has a long history of providing specialized RF equipment and services to the Department of Defense through both prime and subcontract awards.
