Sole Source to MSI Transducers Corp. for Altimeter Kits per attachments

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring 30 units of specialized altimeter kits (Line Item 41-942-1-01, D 200A M107-0 IMP w/RS422 PCBA CBL 394mm 3F-IMP 1415) for the Multi Mission Buoy (MMB) project through a sole source acquisition. This procurement is being awarded to MSI Transducers Corp., an Airmar Technology Company, based on their status as the sole developer and original equipment manufacturer of these specialized components. The solicitation requires all quotes to include supporting documentation consisting of a Capabilities Statement, proof of past performance for similar work, and a CAGE code. The contract will be evaluated on a best value basis considering price, delivery, quality, and past performance. The deadline for submission of quotes is December 23, 2025, providing a six-day response window from the December 17, 2025 posting date.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a sole source award to the incumbent contractor MSI Transducers Corp., justified by the absence of viable alternative suppliers and the significant engineering changes and testing that would be required if a competitor attempted to provide equivalent products. The government determined that no substantial cost savings would be achieved through competitive procurement and that awarding to MSI Transducers represents the best value and lowest overall cost option. The contract will be structured as a simplified acquisition with firm fixed pricing. The place of performance is Panama City Beach, Florida 32407, with operational requirements including base delivery before 1430 hours and restricted hours of operation from 0830 to 1500 Monday through Friday. No specific contract value or award timeline beyond the submission deadline has been disclosed in this solicitation notice.
