About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division is procuring specialized cable assemblies under solicitation N0017825Q6794, specifically seeking Carlisle Interconnect Technologies manufactured products on a brand name or equal basis. The procurement covers 24 cable assembly units across three part number categories: Element to Radome Interface, Radome to Mast, and Internal to Mast N-Channel cable assemblies, all requiring Trade Agreements Act compliance. Only authorized resellers are permitted to submit quotes, and offerors must provide original equipment manufacturer documentation along with System for Award Management registration. The government will evaluate submissions using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable criteria under simplified acquisition procedures. The original quote deadline was July 11, 2025, but has been extended through amendment, with an anticipated award date of August 1, 2025, and delivery required by August 8, 2025.

This procurement is not designated as a small business set-aside and requires delivery to Dahlgren, Virginia under FOB Destination terms. The solicitation specifically identifies Carlisle Interconnect Technologies as the targeted manufacturer due to extensive validation testing and system compatibility requirements, with the government noting that alternative products would necessitate costly redesign and recertification processes. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price commercial item procurement, with quantities specified as 4 units each across 24 distinct line items totaling 96 cable assemblies. An amendment issued on August 25, 2025, clarified shipping terms and updated contract line item descriptions to reference attached deliverables lists and technical drawings. The cable assemblies are critical components that must maintain form, fit, and function compatibility with existing naval systems, limiting competition due to proprietary data and technical integration requirements.
