This document is a Memorandum to the File for a Sole Source Justification for procuring Hydrophone Housings from D & D Automation in Terre Haute, IN. The procurement is for Hydrophone Housings (PN 602916-301) used in the manufacture of US and UK TR-333 Hydrophone for the SP24 TRIDENT Navigation Subsystem, with a specific CAGE code of 6M2Q3.

The justification indicates that Crane (GXPL) had a five-year IDIQ contract with Enjet Aero, and in FY22, Enjet requested an increase in firm fixed pricing for housing manufacture. The document explains that additional funding was required to complete the manufacture of 100 housings, and Enjet did not communicate potential price changes early in the process. The procurement aims to maintain a viable vendor until further advancement of two new qualified vendors, with the cost and permissions to qualify a new vendor requiring authorization from the SP-24 Program Office. The contracting officer has approved solicitation of this procurement using other than full and open competition, specifically citing "Only One Responsible Source" as the justification.
