The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division has a requirement for 36 each Telescoping Antenna Masts P/N 801088 and 36 each grounding kits P/N 101172A. This requirement is planned as a non-commercial Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract.

This solicitation will be issued utilizing other than full and open competition procedures under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, " Only responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Offers will be solicited from Contact Corporation, 1818 Roberts Street, Winchester, VA 22601-6312. The basis for restricting competition is that Contact Corporation's masts have previously been tested and Contact Corporation is the only approved source for the masts. The duplicative costs/timeline (estimated at $579.5K and six months) required to develop another approved source is cost/time prohibitive at this time.
