About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring five (5) VXS Static Crossbar Switches (Part Number CSW1-021-E4H) through a limited source competition restricted to Curtiss-Wright Integrated Solutions and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. This acquisition supports a lifetime buy opportunity for the AN/AES-1 Airborne Laser Mine Detection System to maintain operational availability until a replacement system can be fielded to the fleet, as the VXS Crossbar Switch production line is closing. Prospective contractors must submit quotes by May 4, 2026, and supporting documentation must include a capabilities statement, proof of past performance for similar work, and a cage code. Award will be made based on best value, considering price, delivery, quality, and past performance using the Supplier Performance Risk System. Contractors must comply with cybersecurity standards (NIST SP 800-171), buy American provisions, and various FAR and DFARS contract clauses, with contract administration handled by Procuring Contracting Officer Kaitlin Summerville.
No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, and the two eligible contractors are Curtiss-Wright Integrated Solutions (CAGE 1BT62) located in Santa Clarita, California, and Northrop Grumman Corporation located in Melbourne, Florida. The procurement involves the acquisition of five units of the specified VXS Static Crossbar Switch with competition justified on the basis that Curtiss-Wright is the exclusive manufacturer and NGC is the sole military-grade distributor, with qualifying a new source estimated to cost significantly more and delay delivery by 12-24 months. The specific contract award value is not disclosed in the solicitation documents provided. All deliveries must occur at NSWC Panama City Division and/or NEDU facilities in Panama City, Florida, between 0830 and 1500 hours Monday through Friday, with trucks required to gain base access prior to 1430 hours.
