About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source procurement under FAR Subpart 13.5 for commercial products. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT), Code 02, seeks to award a firm fixed price purchase order to Narda Miteq, the original equipment manufacturer, for repair parts supporting Electronics Support Measures (ESM) subsystem repairs at the Submarine Imaging Sensor National Maintenance Center. The required items include five 6-Channel Downconverter Assemblies (part number SYS0218M07S), ten Low Noise Amplifiers (part number AFS3-01000400-10-10P-4), and ten High Power Amplifiers (part number AMF-2B-00030300-150-32P). The procurement spans nine contract line items with varying option year quantities. Funding is provided through PMS435 Operations and Maintenance Navy (O&MN) funds, with estimated costs redacted in the document.
The sole source justification is based on Narda Miteq's unique capabilities as the qualified source and original manufacturer with specialized knowledge, expertise, and manufacturing facilities essential to produce these highly specialized components. The Government lacks complete technical data and configuration management for these components, and establishing alternative sources would require substantial non-recurring engineering costs, extended lead times, and comprehensive qualification testing including vibration, radiated emissions, temperature ranges, and pressure testing. A cost-benefit analysis demonstrates that developing alternative sources would incur approximately 45 weeks of additional schedule impact and duplicative costs that cannot be offset by potential competition savings. A combined synopsis and solicitation notice was published on SAM.gov on August 4, 2026, inviting capability statements from responsible sources. No challenges to the sole source justification were received. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated costs as fair and reasonable, and NUWCDIVNPT currently has no plans to compete future contracts for these supplies unless another viable source emerges.

IN REPLY REFER TO
(GPE), SAM.gov on 04 August, 2026. The notice stated the intention of NUWCDIVNPT to award a contract on a sole source basis to Narda Miteq. The notice also invited all responsible sources to submit a capability statement for the consideration of the Government.
No additional research was conducted because it is not practicable, for the reasons discussed in paragraph 5 above, for any source other than Narda Miteq to fulfill this requirement. No challenges were presented to the sole source justification nor alternatives suggested. If a responsible source submits a capability statement for consideration by the Government prior to contract award, it will be brought to the attention of the Competition Advocate.
7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.
The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.
8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.
For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NUWCDIVNPT has no plans at this time to compete, future contracts for the types of supplies covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NUWCDIVNPT will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible and consult the Competition Advocate.
