About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command has issued a sole source justification for TR-143A Receptacle Connectors (Part Number 7146194-201) for Trident Submarine Navigation Subsystems, to be procured exclusively from Brantner and Associates LLC in El Cajon, California. The procurement covers 14 US (Ohio) and 4 UK (UKV) submarine units, with an estimated delivery date of December 1, 2025. The justification for sole sourcing is based on the vendor's unique qualification status, as alternative suppliers would require extensive and costly qualification testing estimated to exceed 100% of the acquisition price and take approximately 12 months to complete. The Strategic Systems Program Office has determined that no substitute items can be used without prior comprehensive testing and approval, effectively making Brantner and Associates the only currently qualified vendor for these critical submarine navigation system components. This sole source procurement falls under the Electronic Connector Manufacturing (NAICS 334417) and Underwater Sound Equipment (PSC 5845) categories, highlighting the specialized nature of the required connectors.
