BRAND NAME SPECIFICATION:
This justification is based entirely on technical necessity and the critical importance of maintaining the program schedule to meet urgent operational commitments, as the specified make and models are the only components that can satisfy the mission requirements. The specified components are foundational to this baseline, having been originally selected for unique and proprietary integration characteristics that remain essential for the system's evolution to the program. Consequently, attempting to integrate a substitute would lead to a series of cost-prohibitive consequences, including a complete non-recurring engineering effort for interface redesign, custom software driver development, and full regression testing, which would not only duplicate previous investments but also introduce significant technical risk into a stable, mission-critical system.
Based on the above, it is not reasonable to conclude the potential savings from competition can offset the significant duplicative cost and schedule and mission impact associated with purchasing a new brand name product. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to solicit and award this requirement on a brand name only basis.
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) has issued solicitation N6660426Q0324 for the procurement of specific hardware components on a brand-name basis. The requirement includes Swift PMC NTDS Serial D/E units from IXI Technology, cPSB 2.16 4-slot chassis from Elma, and processors and dual PMC carriers from Kontron. This acquisition is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside (SBA) under NAICS code 334112, Computer Storage Device Manufacturing, which has a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The procurement is also classified under PSC 7E20 for IT and Telecom - End User: Help Desk; Tier 1-2, Workspace, Print, Output, Productivity Tools (HW/Perp SW).
The government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price order for these commercial items to be delivered FOB Destination to Newport, Rhode Island. The brand-name justification is based on technical necessity and the requirement to maintain a stable system baseline, as the specified components possess proprietary integration characteristics essential for mission requirements. Offerors must provide proof of authorized reseller status from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), as grey market items are not acceptable. While the agency prefers to award all items under a single quote, partial quotes may be considered if the requirements cannot be fulfilled together.
Quotes are due by 2:00 p.m. EST on May 1, 2026. Submissions must include item pricing, shipping costs, delivery lead times, and valid vendor identifiers such as CAGE codes. The solicitation incorporates one attachment titled "II.D.ii. RFQ SAM Posting Summary N6660426Q0324.pdf," which was posted on April 28, 2026. Administrative and technical inquiries regarding this requirement are directed to Jennifer Vatousiou at NUWC Division Newport.
