About this opportunity
Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) - Mechanicsburg is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the repair of approximately 540 Electron Tube, 10 KW Traveling Wave Tubes (Part Number 5730321, NSN 5960-01-322-1337). The agency intends to award a base five-year requirements contract on a sole source basis to Teledyne Defense Electronics, LLC of Rancho Cordova, CA, citing their status as the original designer and manufacturer of the item. The justification for sole source procurement is based on Teledyne's proprietary data and methods required for repair, the government's lack of necessary repair data, and the licensing requirements for accessing proprietary repair processes. Any new design alternative would require approval from Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, which would cause unacceptable delays given Fleet support requirements. Interested parties have fifteen days from the February 1, 2024 publication date to submit capability statements, though this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and the final solicitation is due October 14, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and PSC code 5960 (Electron Tubes And Associated Hardware). The incumbent contractor identified for this sole source award is Teledyne Defense Electronics, LLC (CAGE code 11312), which holds the proprietary rights and manufacturing expertise for these specialized electronic components. The contract structure involves a five-year base period for repair services covering approximately 540 units of the traveling wave tubes. The procurement falls under the statutory authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR Part 6.302-1, which permits other than full and open competition when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The timeline spans from the current pre-solicitation phase through October 2025 for the formal solicitation process.

Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) - Mechanicsburg intends to solicit and award a base five-year requirements contract for the repair of approximately 540 ea., NSN: 7HH 5960-01-322-1337, Electron Tube, 10 KW Traveling Wave Tube, Part Number 5730321.
This action is being negotiated on a sole source basis with Teledyne Defense Electronics, LLC, CAGE 11312, Rancho Cordova, CA in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR Part 6.302-1. Teledyne Defense Electronics is the designer and manufacturer of this item. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

The time required for approval of a new design is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval; thus, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs.
The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302.
Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.
