About this file
This is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification document for procuring Freewave radio equipment for the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NSWC CORDIV). The document justifies the sole-source procurement of three specific Freewave products: IOEX-4422 I/O Expansion Module, Z9-IO-PE-ZE ZumLink 900 IO Enclosed Ethernet Snap-to-Stack Capable ZumEdge, and Z9-PE2 ZumLink Z9-PE (4 port), 900 MHz, Enclosed Product. The justification is based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(ii) for a particular brand-name item, with rationale that these items are specifically designed to be compatible with existing Wireless Integrated Surveillance Systems (WISS) and have been tested and verified to work within those systems. The document indicates that NSWC CORDIV has no plans to compete future contracts for these supplies at this time, but will assess competition if another potential source emerges.
The document is signed digitally by the Contracting Officer on 25 March 2025, with the solicitation number N6426725Q4138. The procurement is an all-or-none requirement, meaning partial quotes will be considered unresponsive. Offerors must be registered in SAM and can submit electronic quotations in PDF or MS Word format. The justification emphasizes that procuring alternative brands would result in substantial duplication of costs that cannot be recovered through competition, and that the Freewave equipment has been specifically selected, tested, and verified for the intended system.
