About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command has issued a sole source justification notice for the procurement of hydrophone housings from Stark Precision Machine, LLC located in Terre Haute, Indiana. The specialized equipment is required for the SP24 TRIDENT Navigation Subsystem production, specifically for manufacturing US and UK TR-333 Hydrophone housings used in underwater sound detection systems. The sole source justification stems from the fact that the previous contractor, Enjet Aero, which held a five-year IDIQ contract through Crane (GXPL), requested price increases in FY22, leading to procurement quantity adjustments and ultimately necessitating a change in suppliers. The contracting officer determined that Stark Precision Machine is the only responsible source capable of manufacturing these specific hydrophone housings, as qualifying a new vendor would require authorization from the SP-24 Program Office along with associated costs and approvals. The contract is scheduled to be awarded on August 15, 2025, though the specific award amount has not been disclosed in the available documentation. This procurement falls under the specialized category of underwater sound equipment manufacturing, reflecting the highly technical and mission-critical nature of the TRIDENT navigation system components.
