About this file
This is a Memorandum recommending the use of other than full and open competition for the acquisition of network hardware manufactured by multiple vendors for the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). The procurement involves 16 line items totaling specific quantities of Panduit Electrical shielded cabling infrastructure, Premier Conduit plenum, ABB Carlon adapters, Chatsworth cabinets, Hubbell fans, Brady labels, and Prysmian Group cables. Total estimated cost is redacted, with delivery required 30 days after receipt of order. The requested material represents minimum government requirements.
The rationale for limited competition centers on compatibility and performance requirements. The materials have been validated and engineered by specific Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to be compatible with existing software and network infrastructure at NSWCDD, providing required shielding and keyed jack specifications. The memorandum asserts that alternative vendors cannot guarantee interchangeability with current equipment and software, and substitution would necessitate replacement of existing hardware, additional training, and increased implementation time causing delays to critical projects. Cost duplication to investigate alternative providers through full and open competition would not be recoverable. Market research identified multiple authorized resellers available through General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedules and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement contract vehicles. The originator certified the facts on 12/8/25, and the Contracting Officer determined only one or limited sources are reasonably available.

Subj: RECOMMENDATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
Ref: (a) 1119-01 – Network Hardware (HW) Package
1. It is recommended that other than full and open competition be used to acquire reference (a) for the below hardware manufactured by Prysmian Group, Premier Conduit, Panduit Electrical, Abb Carlon, Chatsworth, Hubbell, and Brady Co.:

The total estimated cost is with delivery required 30 days after receipt of the order.
The requested material represents the minimum requirements of the government.
2. The requiring activity is the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), The has a requirement to purchase Panduit consumable network materials such as shielded keyed copper modules and other shielded cabling infrastructure items that will provide network connectivity at NSWCDD. The requested products are approved products for use because of the shielding and keyed jack requirements to meet requirements.
The material has been validated by the NSWCDD’s and engineered by specific Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to include Premier Conduit, Panduit Electrical, Corning Optical, Abb Carlon, Chatsworth, Hubbell, and Brady Co. to be compatible with the current software, providing the specific performance, connectivity, and the capacity required to support the .
The physical network infrastructure materials are required to meet the requirements for NSWCDD. Choosing other vendors cannot guarantee the material is interchangeable with the equipment and software currently in place and would require replacement of existing hardware in addition to additional training and an increase in implementation time which would cause a delay to critical projects. If the purchase is not approved, the ability to install additional l network infrastructure capabilities at NSWCDD . These network systems are used to support the across the warfare center . It is estimated that to duplicate this effort would cost the Government at least in total labor, material and lost revenue. The labor estimate is based on the fully loaded hourly labor rate
Activities would include time investigating other providers that offer similar products; purchase material, system testing, and quality control testing. This additional time and duplication of cost could not be recovered through full and open competition.
3. Market research was performed through internet searches and obtaining a market research quote. This market research has shown that there are multiple authorized resellers for the required material to include under the General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedules and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement contract vehicles.
