About this file

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport. The procurement is for a five-year Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to acquire multiple switches, filters, and electronic components for Periscope and Photonics antenna radio frequency (RF) assemblies. The requirement is specifically for RLC Electronics, the original and sole manufacturer of unique RF components used in undersea antenna assemblies, with quantities varying across base and option years for items such as duplexers, switches, band pass filters, and power dividers.

The justification emphasizes RLC Electronics' unique capabilities, including being the only approved source certified by the Participating Acquisition Resource Manager (PARM) to meet antenna assembly and imaging mast specification requirements. The procurement is sole-sourced to prevent unacceptable delays and substantial duplication of costs, with a total monetary and schedule impact of 60 months. The Navy has no current plans to compete future contracts for these supplies, but will assess feasibility if another potential source emerges. The contract will be funded with Working Capital funds, with an anticipated ordering period of award through sixty months thereafter.
