About this file
This Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport seeks approval to solicit and award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract on a sole source basis to Spiratex Co. for custom extruded towed array hoses. The procurement is for 65 P/U reinforced towed array hoses and various custom extruded TPU and resin-reinforced tubing, with specific configurations including extra thickness, Estane materials, and different reinforcement types. The legacy cord and urethane materials are no longer available, and Spiratex is currently the only approved source of supply for these specialized hoses as specified by Naval Sea Systems Command.
The document explains that replacing these hoses is critical for in-service TB-29/C, TB-34/4A, and TL-29A towed arrays, with no other suppliers currently meeting the technical requirements. The solicitation was published on 09 December 2025, with no additional sources emerging during the period. The total estimated purchase satisfies requirements for the next period, and while NUWCDIVNPT has no immediate plans to compete future contracts, they will assess competition feasibility if another potential source emerges. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, with the procurement aimed at maintaining fleet operational capabilities.
