This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial supplies prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is N66604-23-Q-0408.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Type purchase order to Brantner & Associates, Inc. on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). Branther & Associates, Inc, is the only known source that can provide the DT-513G Cable Assembley. The Brantner & Associates DT-513 Cable Assembly is First Article testing qualified (including shock testing) and, therefore, is the only qualified manufacturer that meets the existing mateable connection requirement. While the Government could purchase the connectors and mate cable that would be competitive in nature, the Government would take on significant liability if the cable malfunctioned. The Government would not be able to attribute the failure between the connector, cable, and the Government’s manufacturing process.

The full cable system must be procured on a sole source basis to Brantner & Associates.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
