The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for SEACON underwater components.  The compliant product is available solely from TE Connectivity, as the required materials are only available through TE Connectivity.  The NAICS code is 334417 and the business size is 1000 employees.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to TE Connectivity.  The proposed action is for SEACON equipment, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).  The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: TE Connectivity is the only source of the required equipment, with no compatible item on the market.  The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to TE Connectivity using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00AM 14 August 2020  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  However, all responses received by 12:00AM on 08/14/2020 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.bonaiuto@navy.mil and Gary Whitney at gary.whitney@navy.mil.
