16--POWER AMPLIFIER ASS

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of a POWER AMPLIFIER ASSY with part number 7RH 1680-01-610-0020 E7 and item ID 8360297-002, awarded under FAR 6.302-1 due to the original equipment manufacturer’s exclusive possession of proprietary technical data and manufacturing knowledge, which precludes competitive bidding. The acquisition is managed by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, located at 700 Robbins Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with the place of performance also designated as Philadelphia, PA. The contract was posted on May 5, 2026, with a solicitation number of N0038322RD271 and is associated with prior contract numbers N0038322X0581, N0038323X0736, and N0038324X0059, indicating a continuation of prior support. The procurement does not include detailed pricing, CLINs, or a published contract value, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award are specified, consistent with its sole-source justification under 10 USC 3204(a)(1). Packaging, preservation, and labeling must comply with Government engineering and source approval requirements without reference to specific MIL-STDs, and items must be clearly marked with the designated nomenclature and part numbers to ensure traceability. Inspection and acceptance are overseen by the Government’s cognizant engineering authority, though the exact location and criteria are not detailed. No security clearances, key personnel requirements, options with defined terms, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are included. Technical data submission is mandatory and must be approved by NAVSUP WSS officials, including Christian Markle as the primary point of contact, Brian White as the technical cognizance officer, and Thomas Rafter as the planner. The contract is not competitive and relies heavily on the OEM’s historical role and control of design and manufacturing controls, with all quality and compliance validations ultimately resting with Government engineering oversight.
