The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane is seeking to procure Hydrophone Backing Plates under a sole-source solicitation issued as N00164-26-Q-0252, with a closing date of 4 August 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334511 and is being conducted under FAR Part 13 procedures, with limited competition authorized by FAR 13.106-1 due to the need to source from previously tested and approved vendors—specifically Brownstown Quality Tool & Automation, LLC, D&D Automation, and Stark Precision Machine.

Participation requires contractors to be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Joint Certification Program (JCP), with controlled attachments accessible only to those who meet these prerequisites. All updates and amendments to the solicitation will be posted exclusively on SAM.gov, and it is the vendor’s responsibility to monitor the site regularly. Offers must be submitted via email to [email hidden] by the deadline, and only those who submit quotes will be notified of any post-deadline changes. The place of performance is Crane, Indiana, and the point of contact for inquiries is Cierra Vaughn.
