SOLE SOURCE – AN/ALQ-240, AN/ALQ-218, & ALQ-99 Power Supply Repair

The contract is a sole-source, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) to Crane Electronics Inc. for the test, teardown, evaluation, and repair of critical power supply units—WRA-1, WRA-9, and Universal Exciter Upgrade PS1—used in Navy P-8A Poseidon and EA-18G Growler aircraft. The procurement is justified due to the unique technical expertise and proprietary Level III Technical Data Packages held exclusively by Crane Electronics, which are required to perform repairs and cannot be replicated by any other entity without incurring an estimated $23.157 million in duplication costs and a 3- to 5-year delay. Funding for the IDIQ contract spans Fiscal Years 2023 through 2028, with an amended ceiling of $892,453, up from the original $645,000, though no detailed line-item pricing or quantities are provided. Performance occurs at Crane Electronics’ facility in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, while the contracting office is located at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division in Crane, Indiana. The Government retains responsibility for inspection and final acceptance, with no competitive evaluation factors applied, as the award is based solely on the statutory exception for a single responsible source. No formal contract clauses, packaging requirements, evaluation criteria, or offeror representations were included in the documentation, consistent with the nature of a sole-source justification. The CAGE code for the vendor is 09062, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is Devin Wilson of NSWC Crane.
