MVK T-20 Receiver

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to award a sole source purchase order to Teledyne Marine for a replacement part critical to the operation of their Teledyne/Reson Multibeam T-20 Receiver. This receiver is installed on USACE Navigation Survey Boats that conduct essential surveys of Mississippi River Ports and Harbors. The existing T-20 Receiver is inoperable due to failure, and since Teledyne Marine is the sole manufacturer of this system and its components, they are uniquely qualified to provide the replacement part. This acquisition is conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13 and is justified as other than full and open competition under applicable federal regulations. The procurement, identified by solicitation number MVK20200002, will be managed by the W07V Endist Vicksburg office of the Department of Defense, with performance located in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The contract relates to NAICS code 334511, covering audio and video equipment manufacturing, appropriate for this specialized marine equipment. The point of contact for the procurement is Shermeka L Showers, who can be reached for inquiries. This notice explicitly states that it is not a Request for Quote and no solicitation will be issued, reflecting the sole source nature of the award intended to quickly restore operational capability in critical navigation survey functions.
