About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane in Indiana is seeking to procure engineering services for Simplified Driver (SDR) and Continuous Wave Illuminator (CWI) Microwave Tubes (MWTs) through a sole source procurement. The services include Product Improvement Program, Diminishing Manufacturing Services, Failure Analysis, Field Performance Analysis, and Design Improvements with the overarching goals to increase reliability, improve performance, and reduce acquisition costs. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 as a sole source action, with the government intending to negotiate only with Microwave Power Products Inc. The contract structure includes five Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) covering interim reports, final reports, engineering test units, engineering change orders, and technical data requirements. Amendment 0001 modified CLINs 0002, 0003, and 0004 to option CLINs, and the closing date for capability statements is July 14, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST.
This procurement has no set-aside designation and is being sole sourced to Microwave Power Products Inc. of Palo Alto, California (Cage Code 99313), as they are identified as the only source capable of performing the required engineering services on the SDR and CWI MWTs. The total contract value is $500,000 for a two-year, non-commercial Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) job order contract under Basic Order Agreement (BOA) N0016424RWP16. The planned award date is September 30, 2025, and while other responsible sources may submit capability statements, the government reserves the discretion to maintain the sole source approach. The contract will be structured with both firm requirements and option CLINs, allowing for flexibility in the scope of work to be performed over the two-year period.
