About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command seeks 20 spark gap switches (Part Number 50264) and 5 cathode tip hemispheres (Part Number T000064327) as a sole-source procurement from Fisica Applied Technologies, Inc., with proposals due October 28 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The solicitation is issued under FAR 13.106-1 and FAR Part 13 procedures, restricting competition to the named OEM based on system uniqueness and OEM-specific performance and test specification requirements; all responsible sources may submit a capability statement for agency consideration, but award discretion remains solely with the Government.
Place of performance is Crane, Indiana (NSWC Crane, 300 Highway 361, Crane, IN 47522-5001). Delivery is required by January 11, 2027. The NAICS code is 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing), and the PSC code is 5985. The procurement is designated for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns. The justification for sole-source award rests on the switches' unique tailoring to the government-owned Short-Pulse Gamma equipment; developing an alternate design would require approximately 1–2 man years of reverse engineering and component design, and pursuing an alternative source would void existing warranties on the SPG system. Award is on a firm fixed-price basis. Contractors must be registered in SAM. Questions and submissions should be directed to contract specialist Cierra Vaughn at cierra.n.vaughn2.civ@us.navy.mil. Offerors who submit quotes will receive notifications of any post-closing date amendments; all pre-closing changes will be posted to sam.gov.
