Missile Restraint System Control Console

Solicitation N6339426P4012 is a sole-source procurement for the acquisition and installation of a proprietary Control Console for Missile Test Cell 1 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division in California. The project is awarded to Doerfer Companies, the parent company of Wright Industries, as they hold the exclusive proprietary design rights and technical data necessary for the system. The console is a non-commercial item required to interface with existing hardware to detect pin-to-socket alignment via photo sensors and manage pneumatic actuators for engagement and disengagement, providing visual status indications through a system of lights and push-buttons. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 and 6.303-2(b)(4) and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the lack of alternative sources and the urgent need to avoid project delays. Because of the proprietary nature of the design and the requirement for exact form, fit, and function compatibility with the Missile Test Cell 1 infrastructure, no competitive bidding process was utilized. Performance and acceptance will occur at the destination site in Port Hueneme, where the system must demonstrate satisfactory operational verification using facility-supplied power and compressed air.
