## Description

5/15/26 Amendment -0001 This amendment is to remove SOLE SOURCE and replace with BRAND NAME ONLY/AUTHORIZED RESELLERS ONLY, 100% Total Small Business Set Aside. Offerors must provide Letter of Authorization to resell Crystal Group components at time of quote submission. No other details have been changed.

(RFQ) Number is N6660426Q0314 The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award on a firm fixed price (FFP) purchase order for the following Crystal Group items on a BRAND NAME ONLY BASIS, AUTHORIZED RESELLERS ONLY, no substitutions allowed. The Government’s existing platform infrastructure is manufactured by Crystal Group, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which necessitates that the required hardware must also be acquired from Crystal Group.

Without the essential ruggedization process Crystal Group provides, the new hardware would not be compatible with existing and would not be compatible with various conditions the platform is subjected to. Utilizing different hardware is not feasible as it would require complete redesign, engineering, and manufacturing of a new platform.

This alternative would also demand extensive qualification testing, leading to significant cost overruns and schedule delays, therefore, Crystal Group is the only source capable of meeting this requirement. This requirement is being solicited on a 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET ASIDE basis as concurred with by the NUWCDIVNPT Office of Small Business Programs. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334111: Electronic Computer Manufacturing. The Small Business Size Standard is 1,250 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 7B22:

**IT and Telecom - Computer:** Servers (hardware and perpetual license software).
