59--AN/USQ-82(V) Fiber Optic Data Multiplex System

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) plans to issue a sole source contract modification to SierraTech, Inc., specifically its Sierra Research Division located in Buffalo, NY, to replace the FODMS turn screws with captive screws. This modification is a firm fixed-price contract designed to leverage Sierra Research's unique technical expertise and experience, which is critical for performing the necessary engineering and technical services efficiently while minimizing disruptions to the delivery schedule of the AN/USQ-82(V) Fiber Optic Data Multiplex System to the Navy's shipbuilding program. The contract will be awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), allowing sole source procurement without competitive bidding. This action is informational and meant to notify potential subcontractors, not a solicitation for new proposals. As such, no solicitation documents are currently available, and NAVSEA intends to negotiate exclusively with SierraTech, Inc. The modification supports the ongoing development and delivery of the AN/USQ-82(V) system and underscores the importance of maintaining schedule integrity through selection of a proven contractor with specialized capabilities.
