This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to purchase the following circuit boards on a sole source basis to Sierra Circuits. The Request for Quote (RFQ) number is N66604-27-Q-0032.

This requirement is being solicited on an unrestricted basis as concurred with by the NUWCDIVNPT

Office of Small Business Programs. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is

334418 – Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing. The Small Business Size

Standard is 750 employees. The Product Supply Code (PSC) is 5962 – Microcircuits, Electronic.

Sierra Circuits is the only responsible source reasonably available to satisfy the Government’s minimum technical requirements because their proprietary circuit boards are already fully integrated into the

Government’s existing platform. To maintain strict system compatibility and meet critical developmental testing timelines, the continued use of Sierra Circuits’ specific board designs is required. Introducing an alternative manufacturing source would require a complete re-engineering of the current circuit board layouts to align with a new vendor’s unique processes, necessitating extensive design verification testing that would result in unacceptable program delays and substantial duplicate engineering costs that cannot be recovered through competition.

This solicitation is not a request for competitive quotes. A determination not to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Quotes received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
