About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command issued a sole-source justification for a five-year Firm Fixed Price contract awarded to Northrop Grumman on September 29, 2025, for the procurement of critical replacement parts for the AN/SPQ-9B Radar Antenna system, including Phase Shifter Driver Boards (P/N 247815), Array Logic Boards (P/N 247819), and Transmit/Receive Limiters (P/N 6867277-1). The justification for sole-source procurement centers on Northrop Grumman's position as the original equipment manufacturer holding exclusive intellectual property rights to these components, coupled with the Navy's determination that establishing an alternative manufacturing source would be cost-prohibitive at approximately $399,000 and require 23 to 30 months for certification. These parts are classified as "single point of failure" components essential to Navy ships' anti-missile defense capabilities, and no viable alternative manufacturers were identified despite market research and sources sought synopses. The total estimated contract value spans fiscal years 2024 through 2029 at $14.7 million, awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which permits sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. This procurement ensures the Navy maintains operational readiness of its missile detection and protection systems across its fleet.
