1. JA 126007 FINAL Signed 08032026_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval document for a non-competitive contract award issued by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division.

The Navy proposes to award a Firm Fixed Price contract to Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc., located in Huntsville, Alabama (Cage Code 14925), for the procurement of 101 SDV MK11 Battery Interface Assemblies. The contracting activity determined that only Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, is capable of providing these custom-manufactured assemblies for the SDV MK11 major system, making this requirement unsuitable for full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The total estimated contract value is 10 months after receipt of award. The purchase will be funded with Navy Working Capital Funds (NWCF). The contracting officer has determined that anticipated prices are fair and reasonable. A sources sought notice (N6133126SNQ20) was posted on SAM.gov from March 5 through March 19, 2026, with a subsequent synopsis from March 20 through April 8, 2026. No other sources besides Teledyne Brown Engineering expressed interest. The rationale for the single-source award emphasizes that opening drawings for unrestricted manufacturing would require extensive coordination, testing, evaluation, and liaison action procedures, resulting in duplicative costs and unacceptable schedule delays, with development of an alternative source estimated to take two years and pose functionality risks.
