26-SIMACQ-D40-0009;TEST BOARDS

Contract N6339426P4030 is a sole source procurement awarded by the Department of Defense, specifically the Commanding Officer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Port Hueneme, California. The contract focuses on the acquisition of proprietary JTAG adaptor boards from IXI Technology to support the TI16 baseline modernization effort for Aegis Weapon System Fleet Destroyers. These components are critical for enabling communication between CMT laptops and JTAG interfaces on Circuit Card Assemblies, which is essential for shipboard maintenance, troubleshooting, and mission readiness. The specific deliverables include the Test Board JTAG 6in long (P/N: TE-STBRD-03), Test Board JTAG Straight (P/N: TE-STBRD-00), Receiver Test Adapter Board (P/N: TE-STRCV-00), and the STM Front Panel Breakout (P/N: TE-STFPB-00). The procurement was conducted as a non-competitive action under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, as IXI Technology is the only source capable of providing components that meet the strict form, fit, and function requirements of the frozen shipboard configurations. The justification for this sole source award emphasizes that using alternative components would lead to substantial cost duplication and a potential two-year delay in fleet modernization. Performance and delivery are centered at the Port Hueneme CBC Base in California. While the total contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is identified as being under 350,000 dollars.
