PIP44 HMI Computer

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is seeking to procure a specialized PIP44 HMI computer system with specific technical specifications including 16GB DRAM, 480/512GB SSD, galvanic isolation capabilities, Windows 11 operating system, WWD tools, and Ignition software. This procurement is being pursued as a sole source acquisition under FAR 13.106 authority, indicating that the Government has determined only one responsible source is capable of fulfilling the Navy's requirements. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit written responses via email to Karen Morris to demonstrate their interest and capability, and the Government will consider all information received prior to the January 16, 2026 closing date to determine whether competitive procurement is warranted. The evaluation will focus on the respondent's ability to meet the specified technical requirements and demonstrate comparable capability to the identified sole source. Award is anticipated prior to the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.

This procurement involves no set-aside designations and identifies Woodward, Inc. of Fort Collins, Colorado as the current sole source contractor believed capable of meeting the requirement. The requirement calls for a quantity of five units of the specified computer system (Part Number 8269-1090), with the Product Service Code classified as R425 (Electrical Control Equipment under NAICS 335999). No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, though the relatively modest quantity and specialized nature of the equipment suggest a limited procurement. The tight timeline, with responses due by January 16, 2026 and anticipated award in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, indicates the Navy's urgency in obtaining this specialized equipment for operational purposes.
