This federal document is a Brand Name Justification issued by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). The contracting activity intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to acquire proprietary accessories, spare parts, and transport equipment for the SUEX NERO2 Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV). The procurement includes specialized items such as SUEX offboard battery pods, aluminum transport boxes, frames, cables, spare lithium-ion batteries, battery chargers, and custom Pelican cases. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures with an estimated value above the micro-purchase threshold but below the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000. All deliverables must be received within 90 days of order placement. Pursuant to FAR part regulations, competition is restricted to authorized distributors and resellers of SUEX brand equipment. The justification states that original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are critical to ensuring operator safety, mission stealth, and operational autonomy during military underwater operations. Only authentic SUEX components can guarantee seamless integration, interoperability, and maintenance standards with the existing NERO2 DPV platforms currently fielded by the agency, making alternative brands unacceptable.
