20--Annual synopsis of repair Basic Ordering Agreement N0010412GA100 for repair of electron tubes by Communications and Power Industries - Microwave Power Products Division, Palo Alto, CA (CAGE 99313)

The NAVSUP Weapon System Support (NAVSUP WSS) is preparing to place FY2015 orders under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00104-12-G-A100 for the repair of various electron tubes. Communications and Power Industries - Microwave Power Products Division (CPI-MPPD), identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with CAGE code 99313, is the sole source with full repair capability. The Government does not possess complete data or drawings necessary to support repair by other contractors, making CPI-MPPD the only approved repair provider. A key item under this BOA is the Electron Tube, NSN 5960-01-373-5313, with an estimated quantity of five units annually. Because these items are critical and technical data has not been determined adequate for open competition repair, all must receive Government source approval prior to contract award. Requests for new source approval generally take longer than the lead time allowed to meet the Government’s needs, so awards will primarily continue with the previously approved source to ensure Fleet readiness. This contract is being issued by the Department of Defense, Navsup Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, PA, for NAICS code 334412, reflecting electronic instrument and component manufacturing. Inquiries about the items to be repaired or related questions are directed to the contact, Nick Stellhorn. This solicitation underscores the critical nature of maintaining these electron tubes for operational readiness, emphasizing source control due to limited technical data and the necessity for timely repair support.
