Sensor

Solicitation N0025318Q0154 was issued by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, a Department of Defense agency located in Keyport, Washington, for the procurement of commercial sensor items. The contract specifically seeks 950 Ultra-flat Versatile Hall Sensors, part number KSY-14, from Siemens AG. This procurement is designated as a sole source acquisition because no direct form, fit, and function alternatives exist for the part, which has been out of production since 2003. The justification for this sole source award notes that any alternative to this purchase would necessitate a costly redesign of the sensor assemblies. The procurement process included specific requirements for testing in accordance with SAE Standard AS6081. Following the initial Request for Quote issued on April 6, 2018, the response deadline was extended twice through subsequent amendments. The final response deadline was established as April 20, 2018. Jennifer L. Calkins served as the government point of contact for the solicitation, with the final delivery point designated as Keyport, Washington.
