Cylindrical Antennas – Phase B System

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division in China Lake, California, awarded a firm fixed price, P-type contract to ThinKom Solutions for the procurement of cylindrical antenna subassemblies. This sole source award, conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), is designated for the Phase B System of the PATRIOT Radar Program in support of US Navy Virginia Class submarines. The contract, identified by solicitation number N6893626Q5085 and NAICS code 334220, covers the fabrication, testing, and delivery of 11 antennas and associated data deliverables. The total value of the procurement is approximately 809,000 dollars. ThinKom Solutions was selected as the only responsible source due to its proprietary designs and unique manufacturing processes, which were deemed essential to satisfy agency requirements. Despite efforts to identify other viable competitors through a sources sought notice and pre-solicitation synopsis on SAM.gov, no other sources were found capable of fulfilling the contract. The Contracting Officer has determined the costs to be fair and reasonable, with no current plans to compete future contracts unless new qualified sources emerge.
