Commericial Items in Support of The Ship Self Defense Program

NAVSEA plans to award a series of contract actions without full and open competition to procure specific Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) kits, spares, and obsolescent parts for the Ship Self Defense System (SSDS). These procurements support various activities including baseline configuration development, fleet modernization for the US Navy, initial spares, test events, and ongoing ship and shore sustainment. Because the requirement mandates a particular brand name to ensure exact match with existing systems, a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) is required under FAR 6.302-1(c)(1) to justify the limitation of competition despite the availability of multiple manufacturers. The contract, identified under solicitation number Multiple_FedBid_Procurements, falls within the NAICS code 334111. The place of performance is Washington, DC, with the postal code 20374. The designated contracting officer responsible for this procurement is Simon Klink, who can be contacted via email or phone for further information. The focus on brand name items ensures continuity and compatibility within the SSDS program, underscoring the importance of maintaining system integrity for fleet readiness and modernization efforts.
