58--AN/USQ-82(V) Fiber Optic Data Multiplex Systems Input/Output Modules

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to issue a sole source contract modification to DRS EW and Network Systems, located in Buffalo, NY, to acquire approximately 17 Fiber Optic Data Multiplex System Input/Output Modules. This procurement falls under the existing contract number N00024-02-C-4008 and will be processed through Solicitation N00024-04-R-4308. The sole source nature of the contract is justified because DRS is the only qualified manufacturer capable of meeting the Navy's delivery schedule for this specific equipment. This solicitation is issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), allowing the government to negotiate exclusively with the identified source. While this announcement serves primarily to inform potential subcontractors, interested parties are encouraged to reach out directly to DRS for subcontracting opportunities. The procurement pertains to the AN/USQ-82(V) Fiber Optic Data Multiplex Systems Input/Output Modules, critical components that support naval communications infrastructure.
