Awts switch module

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center is soliciting proposals for AWTS Switch Module components, which fall under electrical and electronic properties measuring and testing instruments (PSC 6625). The Government intends to award this contract on a sole-source basis to Eclypse International Corporation, citing that company's position as the original designer, developer, and manufacturer with exclusive possession of the technical drawings and specifications. The primary contract requirement centers on the Government's need to procure these specialized switch modules to support Squadron operations and maintain critical warfighter support capabilities. Key qualifications include possession of the requisite technical expertise, experience, and access to the technical data package necessary to manufacture components meeting the Navy's specific requirements. The Pre-Solicitation Notice was posted on April 8, 2026, with a deadline of April 13, 2026, allowing potential interested parties a five-day window to submit questions or express interest in the opportunity.

This procurement involves no set-aside designation and explicitly identifies Eclypse International Corporation as the intended sole-source awardee based on the Government's determination that no other contractor possesses the necessary technical data or qualifications. The notice emphasizes that awarding the contract to any alternative source would necessitate a 24-month reverse engineering and re-qualification process that would create unacceptable operational delays for the Navy. The Pre-Solicitation Notice does not specify an award value, budget range, or quantity of units to be procured, leaving those financial details to be included in the formal solicitation document. By establishing this sole-source justification in advance, the Government is signaling its intention to proceed directly with Eclypse International Corporation while meeting federal procurement transparency requirements.
