The Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) plans to award a firm fixed-price purchase order on a Sole Source Requirement basis for DATRON World Communications, Inc., the sole provider of the DATRON Radio System, essential for Test and Evaluation (T&E) at the Shipboard Electronics Systems Evaluation Facilities (SESEF). Competition is not invited, although quotes submitted by the deadline may be considered for future requirements. The RFQ N66604-25-Q-0366 outlines repairs and evaluations of specific DATRON radio components, including transceivers, amplifiers, and tuner systems, with the total not-to-exceed costs for each line item specified. The document also lists applicable FAR/DFARS clauses, payment methods, and registration requirements with the System for Award Management (SAM). Interested parties must submit quotes by June 6, 2025, emphasizing point of contact details, cage code, and Unique Entity ID, with late submissions potentially disqualified for award consideration. The document underscores the critical nature of the existing DATRON systems for Navy operations, with strict adherence to regulations and a focus on maintaining operational readiness.
The document outlines an approved government file related to a solicitation (N6660425Q0366) involving the SESEF program, detailing specific items required for evaluation and repair at various SESEF locations like Norfolk, PNW, and Yokosuka. It enumerates a series of serialized items, predominantly transceivers and high-power amplifiers, along with their associated details such as National Stock Numbers (NSN), CAGE codes, part numbers, and model numbers. Each entry specifies the quantity, unit of measure, acquisition conditions (use as-is), and delivery requirements, emphasizing a structured approach to federal procurement. The focus on evaluation and repair underscores the intent to maintain and enhance operational readiness of these technical components within the context of defense contracting. The file serves as a formal request or outline for acquisition through government RFP processes, demonstrating adherence to regulations and a strategic emphasis on sourcing critical communication technologies.
