RECEIVER, RADIO; Qty: 2

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure two radio receivers (Part Number: 7519-0500-001) for the P-8 aircraft through a sole source procurement. This opportunity is specifically targeted at Undersea Sensor Systems, Inc., which is considered the original equipment manufacturer and the only known source for repair support. Potential vendors must be prepared to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) if not already an approved manufacturer, and all proposals must include comprehensive data as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure. The solicitation will follow FAR Part 15 procedures and involves items subject to Free Trade Agreements and the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. Interested parties must submit their capabilities and questions to Marisa.tetkowski@navy.mil by April 23, 2025, with electronic submission being the only accepted method.

The procurement is not designated as a small business set-aside and will use standard electronic commerce procedures. The anticipated contract award date is May 30, 2025, with a one-year contract duration. The specific radio receiver has a National Item Identification Number (NIIN) of 016823369 and falls under the PSC Category 5821 for Airborne Radio and Television Communication Equipment. The government currently lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to contract with sources other than Undersea Sensor Systems, Inc., which necessitates the sole source approach. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement involves two radio receivers with comprehensive source approval and technical data rights considerations. The solicitation was originally posted to NECO on May 5, 2023, with a previous response deadline of June 5, 2023, before being re-syndicated for the current procurement cycle.
