About this opportunity
Naval Sea Systems Command intends to award a sole-source IDIQ contract to Communications and Power Industries (CPI), Palo Alto, California, for new production, rebuild, and repair of Continuous Wave Illuminator Traveling Wave Tubes, with an estimated total value of $11.3 million over five fiscal years (2022–2026).
The justification rests on CPI's exclusive capability to produce, repair, and rebuild CWI TWTs meeting Navy Weapons Specification WS-33400 and NAVSEA Drawing 6155775. CPI holds proprietary rights to the baseline design and has declined to transfer technical data rights to the Government. CPI is the only ISEA-certified source; certification of an alternative vendor would require an estimated 3.5 years and $12.4 million. Market research identified three TWT manufacturers (CPI, Teledyne, and L3), but only CPI manufactures a product matching the required frequency and power output specifications. Two synopses posted to FedBizOpps in October 2021 and December 2021 generated no responses. Authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1).
The CWI TWTs are installed in MK-99 Fire Control Systems aboard CG-47 Class AEGIS Cruisers, DDG-51 Class AEGIS Destroyers, and foreign military ships. Funding draws from Foreign Military Sales, Operations & Maintenance, Operations, and Research & Development accounts. Individual delivery requirements will be identified through separate delivery orders. The contract is Firm-Fixed-Price. The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable and will request DCMA pricing assistance and/or DCAA audit services prior to award.
