About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division awarded contract N6893626P5416 to Daqscribe Solutions LLC on a sole-source basis for configuration, testing, documentation, software support, and delivery of a complete 3U VPX D2D Radio Frequency and Ethernet Packet Capture and Record System, valued at $0.9 million.
The justification invokes 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing only one responsible source. Daqscribe Solutions is the sole capable vendor because the recorder's proprietary data format and interfaces are dictated by Interface Control Documents from the prime contractor and have been adopted by ONR FNC programs. All existing systems and software were designed exclusively around these specifications, making alternative recorders functionally incompatible with the established program architecture. Switching vendors would entail prohibitive re-development costs of approximately $1.2 million (four man-years of engineering effort), irrecoverable investment in the ecosystem, and unacceptable schedule delays. A Sources Sought Notice was posted to SAM.gov on March 17, 2026, yielding three responses; only Daqscribe Solutions was determined technically acceptable. The system comprises two Air Transport Rack Ready Recorder Systems with Analog to Digital System Card and Equipment, and five 3.8-terabyte drives, with a 180-day lead time after contract receipt. Place of performance is China Lake, California. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable. No plans exist to compete future contracts for these supplies unless another capable source emerges.
