The acquisition is for an Acoustic Decoupler, Part Number 1G07217G03, from Northrop Grumman Corp, with the point of contact being Alyssa Rodriguez at P.O. Box 1488, Annapolis, MD 21404.

The government has determined that only Northrop Grumman possesses the necessary proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes required to manufacture this specific item. No alternative sources can satisfy the government's requirement. The Contracting Officer, Quincey Lee Dillenback, approved this justification on June 26, 2026, with technical certification from EQS personnel at PHNSY and IMF dated May 19, 2026.
