About this file
This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying a sole source procurement for a specific defense technology component. The procurement is for a single MPT-130 pan and tilt positioner manufactured exclusively by Quickset Defense Technologies LLC, to be delivered by June 18, 2025, for integration into a test and evaluation system. The justification is based on brand name requirements, as Quickset is the only manufacturer producing a positioner that meets the necessary form, fit, and function specifications for the project.
The document emphasizes that alternative products cannot be integrated without significant delays and additional costs estimated by Subject Matter Experts at NSWC Crane. The procurement is critical to supporting warfighter capabilities, with potential project delays that could leave military personnel vulnerable. The total dollar value is redacted, but the procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, with approval signed by Contracting Officer Andrew Ficklin on March 8, 2025.

The estimated cost of procurement is . The required delivery date is June 18,2025. This due date is required to ensure time for system integration and demonstration of the platform within FY25 prior to beginning test events in FY26 and fielding systems to the fleet in accordance
Quickset Defense Technologies is the sole manufacturer of the MPT-130 pan and tilt positioner that is used by NSWC Crane
The MPT-130 is the only positioner currently on the market that meets the form, fit, and function requirements necessary to interface . Without the MPT-130
, the Government will be unable to complete . This could delay or prevent fielding of systems thereby leaving the warfighter vulnerable to attack
Other products, , do not have the form factor required for this project. Integrating a different vendor's product, software, and firmware with is estimated to require an additional to qualify and implement a new source, which will cause unacceptable delays in supporting the warfighter.
In addition, the estimated cost to qualify a new source is per Subject Matter Experts at NSWC Crane, which is infeasible and will result in a substantial duplication of cost that will not be recouped through competition. A delay of this magnitude would not allow for sufficient integration scheduled completion, and ultimately would lead to inability of the warfighter to have
