Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for 3,600 feet (+10%/-0%,
24 lengths) of a double optimized braided cable used as the SEI (Specific Emitter
Identification) power and control cable (PN: MS682119 Rev G.2.1) in support of the AN/SLQ-
32(V)6 System. This cable is being utilized on all the SSX-1 & SEI system variants. This
cable has to connect and interface with key components of the AN/SSX-1 SEI system both
topside, exposed to the elements and EMI, and inboard environments. This particular cable,
from the same OEM, is being used on previously installed systems. In addition, the Planning
Yard approved FFG Ship Installation Drawings (needed to install systems aboard ships)
already specify/require this specific cable on all remaining system installations.

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government
intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, MIL-SPEC WIRE & CABLE CO., SYOSSET,
NY (CAGE: 61040), under the authority of FAR 13.106-1. This is being sole sourced
because of one reasonable source. This is based upon restrictive rights and exclusive
licensing agreements, which is based upon established proprietary design rights that are
only available from the OEM. This particular cable is being used on previously installed
systems. In addition, the Planning Yard approved FFG Ship Installation Drawings (needed to
install systems aboard ships) already specify/require this specific cable on all remaining
system installations and meets the form, fit and function needed to utilize the SSX-1 & SEI
system variants. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be
considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with
this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation 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.
