About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command published a Limited Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of two Howard Industries transformers (one 750 KVA and one 1000 KVA) required by the Forces Surveillance Support Center (FSSC) for the Relocatable Over the Horizon Radar (ROTHR) Site in Vieques, Puerto Rico. The contract was awarded on a sole source basis to Bradley Electro Sales Corp of North Chesterfield, Virginia, Howard Industries' authorized distributor for the region, with an estimated total cost of $398,699.53. The sole source justification was based on the fact that Howard Industries is the original equipment manufacturer and only distributes through authorized dealers rather than selling directly to the government, and the existing infrastructure was specifically designed for Howard Industries transformers. Using alternative manufacturers would require extensive modifications costing an estimated $362,358.32 and potentially cause 15-30 days of mission downtime, which is unacceptable given that the ROTHR Site is a critical National Security Asset responsible for detecting and monitoring aerial and maritime transit to counter illicit drug trafficking. The contract N6883625PS054 was awarded on July 8, 2025, for direct one-for-one replacement transformers to maintain mission continuity at this critical facility.
