N6339426Q4006-26-SIMACQ-E20-0002 Bladder Assembly

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division is pursuing a non-competitive, firm-fixed-price contract for the procurement of eight hanging bladder assemblies, part number H365727-1. These components are critical for the upgrade of the NATO Sea Sparrow Surface Missile System (NSSMS) MK29 ESSM Launcher. The contract is awarded to the Aircraft Rubber Manufacturing Division of Fuel Safe Systems, identified by CAGE code 3YJU7, as they are the only approved manufacturer on the design drawing. This sole-source acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as qualifying alternative sources would result in unacceptable program delays and costs due to required recertification and retesting. Performance will take place at the Port Hueneme CBC Base in California, with deliveries scheduled through September 2025. The contract structure includes a base quantity and four option quantities, with funding obligated across Fiscal Years 2021 through 2025. All deliverables must strictly adhere to engineering drawing H365727 to ensure compatibility in form, fit, and function. Acceptance is managed by the government at Port Hueneme, based on conformance to original equipment manufacturer specifications and approval by the cognizant design activity.
