Herm shock isolators

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with ITT Enidine Inc., Orchard Park, NY for three hundred (300) each High Energy Rope Mount (HERM) shock isolators, Part Number (P/N) HR80091 (also known as HR16-406-B), in support of the PMA 299 Multi-Mission Helicopters program.

The AN-SRQ-4 Radio Terminal Set (RTS) provides communication via a high speed full duplex data link between MH-60 helicopters and cruisers or destroyers. The HERM shock isolator consists of a wire rope isolator encased in an elastomeric material, which contains elastic properties similar to that of rubber for additional dampening, stiffness and minimum sway excursion. The HERM shock isolator isolates and protects AN-SRQ-4 RTSs from shock and vibration. Shock isolators are required to protect the RTS, the ship, and the ship's personnel from damage or harm typically caused by missiles or mines.

The Government intends to procure the above items under the authority of 10 USC 3204 (c) (1), FAR 6.302-1. The Government does not anticipate procuring data rights and competitive drawing package for this effort as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is unwilling to sell their data rights. The ITT Enidine Inc. HERM Shock Isolator is the only known source capable of meeting the required minimum sway space excursion measurement and performance requirements of military specification MIL-S-901D, has passed required barge testing, and is certified by NAVSEA for use aboard Navy ships. All responsible sources are encouraged to submit a proposal in writing that may be used by the Government in determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government, not to open the requirement to competition based upon the response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses must be received within fifteen (15) days of publication of this notice. The Point of Contact is Mr. Angelo Imperiale, angelo.imperiale@navy.mil, Code 2.5.2.4.2.3AI, (732) 323-2475.
