About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for a five-year Firm Fixed Price Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Kaydon Corporation for the manufacture, evaluation, and repair of the AN/SPQ-9B Bull Gear Bearing. The total maximum contract value is $1,325,324.42, funded through Navy Operation and Maintenance and Other Procurement Navy appropriations. The sole source justification is based on Kaydon Corporation being the sole vendor with the proprietary technical data package and detailed drawings for this critical component, which is essential for the AN/SPQ-9B Radar Antenna System. Market research confirmed no alternative vendors could meet the requirements without significant cost and time investment, and the bearing is considered a "single point of failure" that is crucial for protecting U.S. Navy ships from sea and low-altitude air attacks. The contract will cover manufacturing ($634,998.18), evaluation ($24,768.48), and refurbishment ($665,557.76) of the bearings over fiscal years 2024-2028, ensuring continued operational capability of naval radar systems.
