Brand Name Only order for Crystal Group Components

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport is soliciting a firm fixed-price purchase order under solicitation number N6660426Q0314 for specialized Crystal Group hardware components under a BRAND NAME ONLY/AUTHORIZED RESELLERS ONLY requirement, replacing a prior sole source designation. This procurement is exclusively restricted to small businesses with no more than 1,250 employees, classified under NAICS code 334111, and is structured as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. Offerors must submit a valid Letter of Authorization confirming their status as an authorized reseller of Crystal Group products, and substitutions of components are strictly prohibited due to the critical need for compatibility with existing ruggedized Navy platform infrastructure, which relies exclusively on Crystal Group’s proprietary engineering and environmental hardening processes. Failure to comply with these sourcing restrictions renders quotes technically unacceptable. All items, listed under six CLINs including server systems, SSDs, power cords, and mounting kits, must be delivered F.O.B. Destination to Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, with a desired delivery date of December 31, 2026. The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method, where technical acceptability hinges on full compliance with the CLIN requirements and the absence of negative past performance in the Supplier Performance Risk System. Only offerors with active UEI and CAGE codes, current SAM.gov registration, and documented compliance with DFARS cybersecurity controls—including Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting (DFARS 252.204-7012), NIST SP 800-171 requirements, and prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment—will be considered. Items valued at $5,000 or more require Unique Item Identification (IUID) per DFARS 252.211-7003, and all deliveries must originate within the United States and remain in new condition. Proposals must be submitted electronically by April 12, 2026, to the designated point of contact, and pricing details are to be included in the response with all shipping costs incorporated into the unit price.
