About this file
This document is a sole source justification for the procurement of Flared Base Group (FBG) antenna assembly radomes from GSE Dynamics by the Naval Sea Systems Command. The radomes are critical components of the FBG antenna assemblies that protect internal components from the harsh sea environment while allowing sensor elements to function properly. GSE Dynamics is currently the only source certified by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport to meet all requirements for producing the radomes, which require highly specialized manufacturing processes. As the current producer of the radomes with unique expertise, facilities, and integration into the antenna assembly design, awarding this sole source contract to GSE Dynamics is deemed to prevent unacceptable delays and duplication of costs in providing radomes that meet all functional and performance needs.

PR: 1301085375
PID: N66604-23-SIMACQ-NPT-34-0767
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT:
NUWCDIVNPT Code 34 has a requirement to fabricate and repair Flared Base Group (FBG) antenna assemblies, Each FBG antenna assembly requires two separate radomes specially designed to protect the internal components from the harsh sea environment while allowing the sensor elements to function properly.
MFGR Part No Description/Title Quantity Configs (if applicable) 06829011 RADOME FBG Rev - 10 06829021 RADOME DF FBG Rev - 6
The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel.
SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:
The Radomes are a critical part of the FBG antenna assembly, GSE Dynamics was selected by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport, as qualified provider capable of producing the Radomes, which meet all the requisite functional and performance parameters of the FBG antenna assembly. The Radomes are fully integrated into the FBG antenna assembly design and other ancillary system components that have been tailored to operate with the GSE Dynamics Radomes, ensuring all functional and performance requirements are met.
The Radomes are highly complex composite structures requiring highly specialized manufacturing processes to ensure the functional and performance requirements are achieved.
GSE Dynamics is the only source certified by NUWCDIVNPT to meet all the requirements. GSE Dynamics currently possesses the unique knowledge, expertise, and manufacturing facilities required to produce and deliver the Radomes for the FBG antenna assemblies.
Based on the above, it is in the Government’s best interest to award this requirement to GSE Composites on a sole source basis to prevent unacceptable delays and substantial duplication of costs in providing Radomes.
RESELLERS:
