The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, is seeking a sole-source contract with SyQwest, LLC to supply TR-343 Transducer Ceramic Stack Assemblies made from lead zirconate titanate material. These assemblies are critical components of the AN/SQS-53C Hull-Mounted Sonar Array, which is part of the AN/SQQ-89(V) Anti-Submarine Warfare System used for detecting, classifying, and engaging submarine threats. The contract is a five-year, firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity agreement with a maximum estimated value of $9.9 million, requiring each CSA to undergo rigorous testing prior to delivery to ensure compliance with specified piezoelectric performance standards. The procurement is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 because SyQwest is the only responsible source capable of meeting the technical requirements without incurring unacceptable cost duplication or schedule delays. All responsible sources may submit capability statements or quotations, but the Government retains full discretion to maintain the sole-source approach regardless of responses received. The solicitation and associated documents are not publicly posted on SAM.gov and are accessible only by contacting the designated point of contact. Contractors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management and the Joint Certification Program to receive controlled technical attachments related to the procurement. The solicitation number is N0016426SNB89, with a response deadline of July 14, 2026. Inquiries must reference the solicitation number and be directed to Jessica Sanders or Leslie Graber-Heshelman. Performance will occur in Cranston, Rhode Island, while the contracting office is located in Crane, Indiana.

Full Description

ITEM DESCRIPTION – Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division, has a requirement for TR-343 Transducer Ceramic Stack Assemblies (CSA). The CSAs are a component of the TR-343 Transducer system and under the cognizance of NSWC-CR.  The TR-343 Transducer is part of the AN/SQS-53C Hull-Mounted Sonar Array, which is a component of the AN/SQQ-89(V) Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) System.  The AN/SQQ-89(V) is a fully integrated Surface Ship Undersea Warfare (USW) combat system with the capability to search, detect, classify, localize, and attack submarine targets. The TR-343 Transducer CSAs are critical components necessary to provide the required piezoelectric characteristics to produce mechanical motion in the water for generation of sonar signals when a large voltage is applied.


NSWC-CR requirement is for a non-commercial, 5-year, firm-fixed-price (FFP), indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for CSAs made from lead zirconate titanate material. These CSAs will be tested in accordance with specifications before delivery. The estimated maximum dollar value over the 5-year ordering period is $9.9 million.


The proposed contract action is for the supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, SyQwest, LLC, 30 Kenney Dr, Cranston, RI 02920, Cage Code 33642 under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, only one responsible source.  The requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis because award to another vendor would result in unacceptable duplication of costs and delays.


All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of re-evaluating the justification for sole source or limitation of sources and deciding to change the acquisition strategy to a competitive procurement. The Solicitation and amendments for this sole source action will not be posted to sam.gov and are available only from the POC identified below.


Contractors must be properly registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and Joint Certification Program (JCP) to receive the controlled attachments. Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov. Information about the JCP is located at https://public.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/PublicHome/jcp/default.aspx. The controlled attachments will be posted at the same time as the solicitation.


Questions or inquiries should be directed to Jessica Sanders, Code 0232, e-mail jessica.a.sanders26.civ@us.navy.mil. Please reference the above solicitation number when responding to this notice.
