This federal contract award to Elbitamerica, Inc., a subsidiary of the Israeli-based defense company Elbit Systems Ltd., was made by the Naval Supply Systems Command for the delivery of a digital map unit (NSN 6605-015-763-335). The $89,770.99 firm-fixed-price purchase order did not use a set-aside and has a completion date of February 7, 2020.
The original pre-solicitation notice indicated that the Naval Supply Systems Command intended to procure this item on a sole-source basis from Elbitamerica, as the original equipment manufacturer, due to a lack of data rights to source the item from other suppliers. The contract was awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for only one responsible source. As a major supplier of defense electronics and aviation systems to the U.S. government, Elbitamerica and its parent company Elbit Systems have been awarded various indefinite delivery vehicles (IDVs) with the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security, allowing for rapid delivery of specialized capabilities.
