The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), is seeking proposals for the procurement of commercial items, specifically the "Next GEN Variable Action Button" and "VAB Power Supply," both manufactured by COMARK LLC. The procurement requires four units of each item, with specific technical specifications outlined, including a custom System on Module (SOM) for the Variable Action Button and compliance with authorized reseller requirements for the Power Supply. These components are critical for maintaining existing systems currently in use, and any substitution could lead to significant operational delays. Interested vendors must submit their quotes by January 20, 2026, with an anticipated award date in February 2026. For further inquiries, contact Carla McKown at carla.j.mckown.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 540-500-9891.
