Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier Support

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Quarterwave amplifier support. The compliant service is available solely from Quarterwave Corporation, as the required timeframe can only be sold through Quarterwave Corporation. The NAICS code is 334515 and the business size is 750 employees. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Quarterwave Corporation.

The proposed action is for repairs to a Quarterwave system, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Quarterwave Corporation is the only source of the required services, with no compatible service on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Quarterwave Corporation using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00AM 04 June 2024. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00AM on 06/04/2024 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice 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. Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.bonaiuto@navy.mil.
