    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), is seeking to procure fifty (50) triaxial accelerometers, which are critical components for replacing existing sensors in ongoing projects. The procurement is justified as a sole source acquisition due to the proprietary nature of the required product from PCB Piezotronics (part number TLD356A16), ensuring compatibility and functionality within current systems while avoiding additional costs. Interested vendors must submit their quotes and capability statements by October 29, 2024, adhering to specified technical requirements and federal procurement regulations. For further inquiries, vendors can contact Christopher C. Rolince at christopher.c.rolinc@navy.mil or by phone at 757-513-7247.
