Intent to Sole Source - Radomes

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, acting under the Department of Defense, has issued a sole source justification for the procurement of PATRIOT and Low Profile Photonics Mast antenna assembly radomes. This contract action, identified by solicitation number N6660424Q, is designated as a Firm Fixed Price purchase order to be awarded to GSE Dynamics Inc. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334419 and is being managed by the Newport, Rhode Island office. The decision to utilize a sole source procurement is based on the fact that GSE Dynamics is currently the only certified source capable of meeting the specialized manufacturing and performance requirements for these specific radomes. According to the justification and approval documentation, qualifying a second source is considered cost and schedule prohibitive at this time. This action is being conducted under the statutory authority of FAR 6.302-1(c) to avoid unacceptable delays and expenses.
