About this opportunity
Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) - Mechanicsburg intends to procure repair services for Electron Tube, Continuous Wave Illuminator (CWI) Tubes under a sole source contract with Communications and Power Industries, LLC. The requirement involves the repair of approximately 300 units of NSN 5960-01-447-7074, Part Number 6155775 or VTR-6610D1, through a base five-year requirements contract. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1 authority for other than full and open competition, as Communications and Power Industries is the original designer and manufacturer with proprietary data and methods necessary for repairs. The government lacks the technical data to perform these repairs independently, and any alternative design would require approval from Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, which could cause unacceptable delays. Interested parties have fifteen days from the August 14, 2024 publication date to submit capability statements, with a response deadline of October 24, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is being negotiated as a sole source award with Communications and Power Industries, LLC (CAGE Code 99313) based in Palo Alto, California. The contract covers repair services for approximately 300 electron tubes over a five-year base period, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the notice. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and PSC code 5960 (Electron Tubes And Associated Hardware). The justification for sole source procurement emphasizes that only Communications and Power Industries possesses the necessary proprietary licenses and technical expertise to perform the required repairs. Fleet support needs drive the timeline requirements, making it impractical to delay the award for competitive procurement processes or new design approvals.
Notice text
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 300 ea., NSN: 7HH 5960 014477074, Electron Tube, Continuous Wave Illuminator (CWI) Tube, Part Number 6155775 or VTR-6610D1.
This action is being negotiated on a sole source basis with Communications and Power Industries, LLC, CAGE 99313, Palo Alto, 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. Communications and Power Industries is the designer and manufacturer of this item. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
The Government does not possess or cannot provide the data necessary to perform the required repairs of the item.
Repair of the existing item requires a license to Communications and Power Industries’ proprietary data and methods. Further, any new design would have to be approved by the Government design agent, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. 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.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any capability statements received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Approval of a source is required. NAVSUP WSS will not delay award while Source Approval is pending.
