N00164-23-Q-0233 – SOLE SOURCE – FIBER OPTIC CABLE ASSEMBLY – FSG 6020 – NAICS 335921 ISSUE DATE 06-JUL-2023 – CLOSING DATE 17-JUL-2023 – 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for a quantity of 13 each Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies, Part Number FA04091. SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source only, Glenair, Inc. out of Glendale, California, Cage Number 06324, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This is being solicited on a sole source only basis because The fiber optic cable assemblies are required to support the AN/SAY-3 IStalker system installations and cross-decking efforts for the sensor suite assembly Line Replaceable Units (LRU) EO/IR Sensor Systems. LRUs are advanced assemblies used as sub-system interfaces for flight management, head down displays, and other aircraft system functions. The Glenair fiber optic cable assemblies have been certified and proven to be compatible with the EO/IR Sensor System. The system has already undergone the necessary certifications to be installed on Naval ships, making these cables certified components of the system. If any components such as the fiber optic cables assemblies were to be replace or changed, a new certification and qualification test to the entire system would be required. This testing and revalidation would cost the Government in excess of one million dollars with an estimated 2,000 in labor hours. These costs would not be recouped via competition. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
