About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is for the acquisition of 24 inertial measuring units from Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. As the original designer and manufacturer of these proprietary components for inertial navigation systems used on Navy vessels, only Northrop Grumman possesses the required expertise for production. The government did not initially obtain technical data rights and market research found no other compatible alternatives. A contract was awarded to an unknown vendor for an unknown value on December 22, 2020 to procure these 24 inertial measuring units on a sole source basis from Northrop Grumman, as the agency did not have the data to manufacture or procure them elsewhere.
Notice text
This Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) is an electronic navigational device used to identify and report a vessel's location. The IMU is a component of the AN/WSN-7, Inertial Navigation System. This systems is accurate within 1 nautical mile in a 24 hour period. The IMU is sole sourced to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, who is the design control authority for manufacturing this component and has the expertise needed to produce this part. The required item is specified by the original manufacturer's proprietary part number/drawing. As the government did not procure the Level III drawings for this equipment, the Government does not have the detailed technical data/manufacturing drawings or the rights to the technical data/drawings sufficient enough to allow the production of this item by sources other than the original manufacturer. It has been determined to be uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. There is no other known part that has been determined to be form, fit, and functionally compatible with the higher level assembly.
Awarded contract SPRMM1-21-P-YA82 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2020-12-22.
