The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to award on a sole source basis to CURTISS-WRIGHT CONTROLS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, INC., for the following manufactured product:  Part number DHAS-MBS1616, Multiplex 1553 Bus Switch - includes +5V power supply.  CURTISS-WRIGHT CONTROLS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, INC., is located in Fairborn, OH.

Based on input from Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Subject Matter Experts, it was determined that usage of another brand would result in significant changes and redesign of the system.

The CW Switch (P/N: DHAS-MBS1616) is the only solution compatible with the deployed configurations and is exclusive to the OEM, CURTISS-WRIGHT CONTROLS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, INC.
