About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is procuring hydrophone housing units under part number 6029163-301 Rev L through a sole source solicitation. The agency intends to negotiate exclusively with D & D Automation, Inc. of Terre Haute, Indiana, as part of a vendor qualification process for an existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. Contractors must be properly registered in both the System for Award Management (SAM) and Joint Certification Program (JCP) to receive controlled attachments and participate in the procurement. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price arrangement, with first article testing required before production units can be manufactured. Quotes must be submitted via email to morgan.m.helton.civ@us.navy.mil by August 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with delivery planned for February 2, 2026.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a sole source award to D & D Automation, Inc., located at 1207 East Dallas Drive, Terre Haute, Indiana. The contract requires delivery of 5 first article units for testing and 23 production units, totaling 28 hydrophone housing units. The first article testing must be completed within 14 days after inspection, and production units cannot be manufactured until the first article is accepted by the Technical Point of Contact at Crane. While the government has indicated its intent to sole source this requirement, it maintains the discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on capability statements from other responsible sources. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 5845 for Underwater Sound Equipment.
