PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE ISSUED.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Type purchase order for the following Quantic Planar Monolithics Industries, Inc. items, on a Brand Name basis, no substitutions allowed.

Quantic Planar Monolithics is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the required Successive Detection Logarithmic Video Amplifier (SDLVA).  and was selected by Boeing-Argon, the ESM Electronics Assembly (EEA) OEM, as the sole provider capable of producing a SDLVA which meets all the requisite functional and performance parameters of the EEA System. The Quantic Planar Monolithics’ SDLVA is the only product certified to meet the Government’s minimum specification requirements.  The cost and time to develop and certify a second source of supply for the SDLVA would significantly impact fleet schedules and add substantial duplication of costs. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to procure this on a brand name.
