About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command seeks to award a sole source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Daco Hand Controllers Inc. for custom joysticks and cursor control boxes, with quotes due November 10, 2026. The sole source justification forecloses competition, and the Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used."

Per the attached justification, the buy covers two DP1221-1 Custom 3-Axis Displacement Joysticks and two DM139-1 Cursor Control Boxes for the LCAC100 helm console, acquired under simplified acquisition procedures above the micropurchase threshold and not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The justification states that Daco is the sole proprietary manufacturer and design authority for both items and holds exclusive rights to its manufacturing drawings, sensor calibration matrices, and firmware communication protocols. Alternative joysticks would require structural alterations to existing operator consoles and remanufacturing of custom wiring harnesses. Daco Hand Controllers, Inc. (CAGE 60ZZ8) is located in Novi, Michigan.

Place of performance is listed as Virginia Beach, Virginia 23459. Clause terms direct deliveries to NSWC Panama City Division and/or NEDU facilities, Monday through Friday, 0900 to 1430 local time, with trucks required to gain base access before 1430. Deliveries are not accepted on weekends or federal holidays.

Quotes must include a Capabilities Statement, proof of past performance for similar work, and the CAGE code. Quotes received by the close date will be reviewed. The Contracting Officer determines, before award, that the order represents the best value and lowest overall cost alternative. The clauses reference best-value award considering price, delivery, quality, and past performance via SPRS. No evaluation weighting is stated.

The NAICS code is 334118, Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing, and the PSC is 7E20.
