Acromag Data Center Cards

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is soliciting a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order for Acromag data center equipment under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, restricted to small businesses as a total small business set-aside. The acquisition is for commercial-off-the-shelf electronic modules—specifically the ACPC8625A Compact PCI IP carrier card, TRANS-C200 rear transition module, IP408 digital I/O module, and IP440A-2 isolated digital input module—essential for integration into U.S. Navy submarine systems. Competition is limited because Acromag components are the only compatible parts with no acceptable alternatives, justifying the use of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) for sole-source procurement. All items must be genuine Acromag products, conforming to the U.S. Navy Submarine Systems Approved Products List and governed by FAR 52.212-2 and 52.212-4, as well as counterfeiting and sourcing clauses 252.246-7007 and 252.246-7008. Responses must be submitted by 12:00 p.m. on May 13, 2026, with questions due by May 7, 2026, and awards will follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where technical acceptability is a pass/fail criterion and price is the sole determinant among qualified offerors. Delivery of all items is required at NSWC Carderock’s facility in Bethesda, Maryland, with firm delivery dates ranging from March 30 to June 1, 2026, under F.O.B. Destination terms per FAR 52.247-34, meaning title and risk transfer upon receipt at the government location. The recipient is Michael Bonaiuto, who also serves as the technical point of contact and receiving officer. The government retains full responsibility for inspection and acceptance at the destination, with compliance strictly tied to exact part numbers and manufacturer origination. Suppliers must hold a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, represent their small business status accurately, and comply with all applicable FAR and DFARS clauses including cybersecurity safeguards, supply chain integrity, labor standards, and prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through WAWF, and payment will be processed via DoDA
