BNM - REDACTED.pdf

This document is a Memorandum recommending a non-competitive procurement for a cabling package by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). The procurement involves specific quantities of networking equipment from manufacturers Corning, APC, and Panduit, including Edge Fiber Enclosures, Edge Pre-Term Splice Cassettes, Rack Hooks, and Label Books. The total estimated cost is redacted, with delivery required within 30 days ARO.

The procurement requires material/service compatibility with existing systems, specifically noting that the Edge Fiber enclosure must fit Edge Splice Cassettes and meet network density requirements. The document emphasizes that these are the only brand-name products meeting program requirements due to compatibility concerns, and that using alternative manufacturers would require significant re-engineering. Market research was conducted through internet searches, and the solicitation will include authorized resellers under the NASA SEWP GWAC. The procurement will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable award method.
