MODEM,COMMUNICATION

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of four MODEM, COMMUNICATION units identified by NSN 0RH 5998-01-707-9305 P8 and part number 1000398399, sourced exclusively from Global Comms Exchange (CAGE 9CC98). The acquisition is justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to the item’s designation as a Critical Application Item (CAI), which requires strict adherence to the original equipment manufacturer’s proprietary technical data, engineering certification, and source approval authority vested solely with NAVAIR PMA-290 and NAVSUP Source Development. The government does not possess the underlying design or manufacturing data, eliminating the possibility of competitive bidding or alternative sourcing. Performance is expected to be completed by September 22, 2026, at Colorado Springs, Colorado, with delivery and inspection responsibilities vested in the government, coordinated by designated personnel including Daniel Macdonald, Samuel Everett, David Coffelt, and Johnny Brown. The contract includes option provisions for future quantities, though specific terms are not detailed. Accounting is supported by two lines of appropriation tied to Treasury Account Symbols and Accounting Classification Reference Numbers, but no unit pricing, total contract value, or FOB terms are disclosed. Packaging, marking, preservation, and bar-coding requirements are not specified beyond the inclusion of NSN, P/N, and CAGE identifiers, and no MIL-STDs are referenced. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or offeror certifications are included in the documentation, as the process is based entirely on non-competitive justification. Invoicing methods, payment office details, and electronic submission portals are not explicitly stated, though submission is presumed to occur through SAM.gov. The contracting office is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the contract was issued under solicitation numbers N0038325X0381 and N0038326X0427 with a posting date of June 24, 2026, and an execution certification date of June 2, 2026.
