About this opportunity
Naval Sea Systems Command, through Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, is soliciting a firm fixed price purchase order for Crystal Group ruggedized computer systems and components on a brand name only basis (authorized resellers only) with a 100% Total Small Business set-aside, with quotes due May 15, 2026. Amendment -0001, effective May 15, converted the procurement from sole source to brand name only/authorized resellers only; offerors must provide a Letter of Authorization to resell Crystal Group components at time of quote submission.
Place of performance is Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, with delivery required by December 31, 2026. The procurement covers six contract line items: eight RS1201S14 systems with Intel I9-13900TE processors, 64GB DDR4 memory, and specified storage; one Crystal Group platinum-level customization configuration management fee; sixteen rail mounting kits; sixteen extended drive carrier sleds; sixteen Kingston 1.92TB SATA SSDs; and sixteen 115V power cords. Shipping is included in unit prices with F.O.B. Destination delivery.
Crystal Group is the original equipment manufacturer; the Government's existing platform infrastructure is manufactured by Crystal Group, and the required ruggedization process is essential for hardware compatibility with existing systems and operating conditions. Alternative sources would require complete platform redesign, extensive qualification testing, and significant cost and schedule overruns. NAICS code is 334111, Electronic Computer Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. PSC is 7B22, IT and Telecom—Computer Servers. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis to offerors with acceptable past performance providing items in new condition from U.S. sources. Contractors must register with SAM and provide unique item identifiers for items exceeding $5,000 unit acquisition cost.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award on a firm fixed price (FFP) purchase order for the following Crystal Group items on a BRAND NAME ONLY BASIS, AUTHORIZED RESELLERS ONLY, no substitutions allowed.
The Government’s existing platform infrastructure is manufactured by Crystal Group, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which necessitates that the required hardware must also be acquired from Crystal Group. Without the essential ruggedization process Crystal Group provides, the new hardware would not be compatible with existing and would not be compatible with various conditions the platform is subjected to. Utilizing different hardware is not feasible as it would require complete redesign, engineering, and manufacturing of a new platform. This alternative would also demand extensive qualification testing, leading to significant cost overruns and schedule delays, therefore, Crystal Group is the only source capable of meeting this requirement.
