    The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) seeks to procure an electrical cable system and its installation exclusively from R.T. Casey LLC on a sole-source basis, as it is the only provider of the required installation and support. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541330 with a business size of $25.5 million. This action is being pursued under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) due to the lack of compatible alternatives in the market. The NSWCCD plans to issue a firm fixed-price purchase order using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested entities can submit a capabilities statement by 12:00 AM on November 7, 2024. This notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, but responses will be considered for potential competitive procurement. Final decisions regarding competition for this purchase order rest solely with the Government. Inquiries can be made to Michael Bonaiuto via email.
    N0016725Q0015.pdf
    The document outlines a Request for Proposal (RFP) from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division for design services to replace an aging power cable system used in underwater testing for submarine technologies. The current cable has been operational for over 25 years and requires replacement due to deteriorating conditions. The contractor is tasked with providing a detailed replacement cable design, which must include a complete physical description, compliance with international standards, and electrical performance criteria. Additionally, the design should incorporate waterproof connectors to optimize maintenance and upgrades. The RFP specifies the delivery timeline from December 2024 to September 2025, with final inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The document includes clauses relevant to federal contracting, including regulatory compliance statements, small business considerations, and restrictions against certain foreign entities. The overall aim is to ensure the efficient design, delivery, and installation of a new power cable system that meets operational requirements for ongoing Navy research, development, testing, and evaluation programs.
    REDACTED Sole Source Justification.docx
    The NSWCCD filed a justification for selecting a sole source vendor, R.T. Casey, L.L.C., for the replacement of a critical power cable used in Navy RDT&E submarine technology tests at the Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) range in Idaho. The existing cable, over 25 years old, requires replacement due to nearing its operational lifespan, and the planned replacement must eliminate the existing complex feed-through for easier maintenance. R.T. Casey is the only vendor with the necessary proprietary expertise, having originally supplied the cable and possessing unique knowledge about the specific operational requirements. Other vendors could not meet the stringent non-standard technical specifications without introducing potential points of failure through splicing. The document emphasizes that utilizing an alternate vendor would incur higher costs and risks related to system compatibility and operational reliability, particularly affecting ongoing Navy programs. This justification falls under the federal guidelines permitting sole-source contracts for acquisitions below the simplified acquisition threshold.
