59--Cables and Connectors for the Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Agent Water Monitor (JCBRAWM)

The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command's Edgewood Contracting Division plans to enter into negotiations with Lind Electronics, Inc. to procure specialized cables and connectors intended for the Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Agent Water Monitor (JCBRAWM). This procurement will occur through a non-competitive process under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), indicating that the requirement is unique to Lind Electronics, likely due to proprietary designs or capabilities specific to the JCBRAWM program. These components are critical for the Joint Project Manager, NBC Contamination Avoidance’s efforts to enhance detection and monitoring of chemical, biological, and radiological agents in water. The contract, identified under solicitation number W911SR-09-C-0036 and associated with the NAICS code 335999 (which covers miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing), will be administered by the Department of Defense office located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The non-competitive nature of the procurement emphasizes the specialized and potentially sole-source nature of the cables and connectors required to specifically support the advanced detection capabilities of the JCBRAWM system, ensuring the integrity and performance of the equipment in critical defense applications.
