About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for WL Gore & Associates, Inc. to provide a specific coaxial cable (part number DDA0210-120) for TDU Extension Cables and Turret Extension Cables used in TAS Program deployment units. The justification is based on brand name necessity, as this 105 OHM QUAD Cable has been exclusively tested and approved by L3 Harris WESCAM and is the only qualified item in the current system design. Pursuing alternative sources would result in substantial engineering challenges, including a minimum 16-month delay for reverse engineering, development, and testing, and the government does not own the technical data rights for the cable. The sole source procurement is specifically justified under the "Brand Name" exception, emphasizing that no other vendor can provide an equivalent product without significant technical and timeline risks. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract is scheduled to be awarded by September 30, 2025, under the NAICS category for Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing.
