About this opportunity
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport is seeking to procure nine downconverters on a sole source basis from Mercury Systems, Inc. to support repair of Electronics Assembly and Photonics Mast units. Quotes are due by July 31, 2023 and will be evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, considering whether the items meet requirements and any past performance. Mercury Systems is the only certified supplier that can meet the functional, environmental, and manufacturing requirements for the specialized downconverter components.
There is no set-aside designation. Mercury Systems is the potential incumbent and sole source as the original equipment manufacturer, as developing a second supplier would take over 18 months and cost an estimated $2.5 million. The downconverters must be delivered by March 2024 with monthly status reports required. Performance will take place at the contractor's manufacturing facilities. The solicitation was issued under NAICS 334220 and PSC codes 5820 and 5895, with an expected value between $100,000-$500,000.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to procure nine (9) Down Converters (P/N: 010-RX184002-003) on a sole source basis to Mercury Systems, Inc. in support of ESM Electronics Assembly (EEA) and Photonics Mast sustainment. The NUWCDIVNPT Office for Small Business Programs concurs with the sole source determination. NOTE: Solicitation N6660423Q0526 (Attachment 1) is attached and details the Government's requirements.
The required Mercury Systems Down Converters are a critical part of the EEAs contained in the Photonics Masts and must perform in various outboard at-sea environments. The Down Converters contain highly complex electronic circuitry, requiring highly specialized manufacturing processes to ensure the functional and performance requirements are achieved. Mercury Systems, Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the required Down Converters and is the only source certified to meet all of the Photonics Mast and EEA specification requirements. Further, it is the only source that currently possesses the unique knowledge, expertise, and manufacturing facilities required to produce and deliver the required Down Converter for the Photonics System without unacceptable delays and substantial duplication of costs. As such, Mercury Systems. Inc. is the only vendor that is authorized and able to fulfill this requirement.
This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order 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 in the future.
