NAWCAD WOLF Radio Cables

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division awarded a sole-source Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, solicitation number N6833525R0473, to SupplyNet, Inc. for the procurement of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf radio cables and ancillary items. These components support the Radio Integration System Family of Systems for U.S. Special Operations Command, specifically ensuring interoperability with fielded AN/PRC-163 and AN/PRC-167 radios. The contract is structured with five one-year ordering periods, with estimated quantities ranging from a minimum of 1 unit to a maximum of 3,125 units. Performance and acceptance take place at Joint Base MDL, New Jersey. The award was made under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because SupplyNet, Inc. is the only source possessing the proprietary technical data and expertise required for production. The government determined that using any other source would result in inoperable equipment, unacceptable schedule delays, and significant mission risk, including potential loss of life. Acceptance is based on the items' ability to support USB functionality in saturated electromagnetic environments and successful completion of government operational testing. While market research was conducted in 2025, the government currently has no plans to compete future contracts due to the cost-prohibitive nature of developing a new source.
