About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking supplies and services to support the AN/ALQ-240(V)1 Electronic Support Measures (ESM) System, the EA-18G AEA Suite, and the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (TJS) through a sole source procurement action. The required supplies and services include fleet support, upgrades, and organic repair operations at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane for various transmitter-antenna groups, transmitters, and ESM components, as well as reach-back support for the ALQ-99 Low Band Consolidation effort. This procurement is classified under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC L058 (Technical Representative Services for Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment). The sole source justification is based on the contractor's exclusive design and manufacturing capabilities, the lack of sufficient technical data for competitive procurement, duplicative costs that would not be recovered through competition, and unacceptable delays that would result from seeking alternative sources. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on January 27, 2022, with a due date for responses of February 19, 2026.
This procurement contains no set-aside designations and is being solely negotiated with Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES Systems, LLC), located at 305 Richardson Road, Lansdale, Pennsylvania 19446, as the exclusive manufacturer of the required equipment and components. The contract ceiling has been increased from the initial $7,050,000 to $23,151,000 to accommodate expanded mission needs and additional work beyond the original scope. CAES Systems, LLC is identified as the sole source manufacturer of critical components including the Scanner Antenna Unit (WRA-7), the OT-209/ALQ-99F(V) Low Band Transmitter-Antenna Group, the Low Band Consolidated-Antenna Group, and the T-1593B/ALQ-99(V) Band 9/10 Transmitter. The government point of contact for this procurement is Kristina Wagoner at NSWC Crane's Code 0232, with no changes to the period of performance anticipated under the current amendment.

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for supplies/services associated with the AN/ALQ-240(V)1 Electronic Support Measures (ESM) System and AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (TJS). The procured supplies and services will include fleet support, upgrades and organic repair of a repair depot facility at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) for the OT-209/ALQ-99F(V) Transmitter-Antenna Group, Low Band Transmitter and its variants and derivative systems (hereafter referred to as the LBT), the T-1593B/ALQ-99(V) Band 9/10 Transmitter, and AN/ALQ-240 (V) Electronic Support Measures (ESM) components. This effort also includes reach back to the ALQ-99 Low Band Consolidation (LBC) effort for supplies/services.
The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, (to Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES), Lansdale Inc., 305 Richardson Rd. Lansdale, PA 19446) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). This is being sole sourced because only one source will satisfy the requirement. Cobham is the sole designer and manufacturer of the AN/ALQ-240(V)1 ESM System and AN/ALQ-99 TJS and maintains a high degree of technical expertise concerning said systems. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source.
