About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command has awarded contract N0016426DWP18 to Polarity, Inc. on a sole-source basis for repair, upgrade, and manufacture of Solid State High Voltage Switches and 2kV Bias Power Supplies supporting the AN/SPS-49A(V)1 series radar systems for Navy ships, with a maximum contract value of $6.6 million over five years (FY25–FY29).
The Government justified sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on Polarity's unique technical capability developed through prior contracts. Previous attempts by DTI Incorporated and Raytheon Electronic Systems to develop acceptable alternative products failed. Polarity has successfully designed and produced units now installed on 31 Navy ships and six land-based sites. The Government determined that developing an alternative source would require 18–24 months and cost an additional $11.064 million, creating unacceptable operational risks. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division conducted market research and posted a sources sought notice on SAM.gov on June 4, 2024. One interested party, Telecommunication Support Services, Inc., concurred with the sole-source determination on August 12, 2024, citing vendor transition and data rights qualification costs and schedule impacts. The contract is a five-year Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity supply contract, with funding drawn from Navy Working Capital Funds ($5.9 million), Operations and Maintenance Navy Funds ($300,000), and Foreign Military Sales ($400,000). The scope includes engineering services for Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages component replacement.
