About this file
This document is a Memorandum recommending other than full and open competition for the acquisition of specific brand-name hardware components for the Module Support Equipment Rack (MSER) Hardware Package, referenced as solicitation 0421-01, dated 28 April 2026. The procurement is intended for the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD).
The hardware components are manufactured by TE Connectivity/Raychem, Allen-Bradley, KMC Stampings, Amphenol PCD, Kendall Howard, Vinylguard, and Glenair, Inc., and include various electrical and mechanical parts such as hook-up wire (various gauges), heat sinks, connectors, cable clamps, heat shrink tubing, and terminal blocks. The complete bill of materials specifies 45 distinct part numbers with quantities ranging from 1 to 1,500 units. Delivery is required 30 days after receipt of order. The justification for non-competitive procurement cites strict compatibility constraints with the existing MSER configuration, substantial government investment in current design specifications, and the critical need for exact form, fit, and function integration. The memorandum indicates that deviating from the specified brand-name hardware would necessitate complete system redesign, causing schedule delays and significant additional costs for labor, testing, and re-engineering. Market research confirmed these specific brand-name products are readily available through multiple authorized resellers. The document includes certification blocks for the originator and Contracting Officer signature, with the latter determining that only brand name/one source is reasonably available.
