59--MAGNETOMETER,OUTBOA

The U.S. Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, is conducting a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 for a MAGNETOMETER, OUTBOARD (NSN 1HM 5930 016443687, P/N 459D0002-2) from EMS DEVELOPMENT CORP, identified by CAGE code 51435. This procurement is justified because EMS DEVELOPMENT CORP holds exclusive design control authority and proprietary technical data necessary for the manufacture and repair of the magnetometer, a critical passive instrument used on SSN-778 and SSN-788–801 class submarines. No alternative sources exist, and reverse engineering or acquiring data rights is deemed uneconomical, rendering competition impracticable. The contract is expected to be firm-fixed-price, with a delivery schedule extending to July 5, 2027, and performance located at the Naval Supply Systems Command facility in Mechanicsburg, PA. Although the contract value is not disclosed,pricing has been determined fair and reasonable based on the unique circumstances. The magnetometer must meet original performance specifications, with implied quality requirements derived from its mission-critical function and past vendor performance since 2017. Packaging and marking requirements are not explicitly detailed, though the item is known to require protection from magnetic interference, shock, vibration, moisture, and extreme temperatures, with identification tied to its NSN and part number for tracking in DoD systems such as ITIMP, FLIS, and ERP. Barcoding is referenced in market research but without specification of a standard like MIL-STD-130 or GS1. Inspection and acceptance are implied to occur at the government location, although no formal criteria, responsible parties, or applicable standards are documented. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, or attachments are present, as this is a non-competitive acquisition. The point of contact is Amber L. Miller, with technical and administrative support from Randall Orris, Jacob Coniaglio, Susan Whitley, and Adam Johnson, all of whom certified the statutory justification under FAR 6.304. Submission of the proposal was required by July 5, 2026, via SAM.gov, and the procurement was posted on June 22, 2026, with final approval granted on March 31, 2026. No socioeconomic status
