N0016421RGP08 - SOLE SOURCE - TR-333 HYDROPHONE AUDIO TRANSFORMERS - PSC 5845 - NAICS 334416 Issue Date: 01 JUL 2021 - Closing Date: 16 JUL 2021 - 02:00 PM EST ITEM DESCRIPTION: Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division has a requirement to procure TR-333 Hydrophone Audio Transformers to include Foreign Military Sales (FMS). For the five-year ordering period, the Government estimates requirements for a minimum quantity of 100 and a maximum quantity of 650 Hydrophone Audio Transformers. SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT: The proposed contract action is supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, OECO, 4607 SE International Way, Milwaukee, OR 97222, (CAGE 95266) in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. This is being sole sourced because OECO is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's requirements and no other type of supplies will satisfy agency requirements. The program requires critical component suppliers to go through an extensive qualification plan, to include inspection, certification, first article testing, and operational testing. Award to any other source would result in duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition as well as unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this synopsis is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
