About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking to procure VME (Versa Module Eurocard) interface components through a brand name only solicitation for products manufactured by Avionics Interface Technologies (AIT) and its authorized distributors. The procurement specifically requires two VME interface products: VME-1553M-EF-2 (Ext Func Dual 1553 Channel on 6U VME - Single Function) and VME-VME-1553-EF-2 (Ext Func Dual 1553 Channel on 6U VME). This is structured as a sole source procurement under FAR 13.106-1 authority, though the government has indicated that all responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration. The solicitation allows for potential competition at the government's sole discretion, and contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offers must be submitted electronically by July 9, 2025, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, with delivery requested by September 30, 2025.
Despite being designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside opportunity, the solicitation indicates "No Set-Aside Used" in the primary posting, creating some ambiguity in the set-aside designation. Avionics Interface Technologies (AIT) is identified as the original equipment manufacturer and primary target for this procurement, along with its authorized distributors. The contract will utilize a firm fixed price arrangement with early delivery acceptable at no additional charge to the government. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335999 for miscellaneous electrical equipment and component manufacturing and PSC code 5340 for commercial hardware. While specific award values are not disclosed in the documentation, the solicitation is being conducted under FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures.
