Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren wants one Curtiss-Wright C-Band Transponder (20 watts, part XPDR-520-20), delivered to Dahlgren, VA. The Navy says only this brand will work with its installed systems, so quotes are accepted only from the manufacturer or authorized resellers. It will be a firm fixed-price order.
Watch out for
- Brand-name / sole source requirement. The Navy requires this one manufacturer's product, so a small business that is not the OEM or an authorized reseller cannot realistically win.
The brand CURTISS-WRIGHT DS, INC. is required because the material must be compatible in all aspects
- OEM authorization paperwork. Quotes without OEM authorization documents will not be considered, so you need the manufacturer's letter before bidding.
Quotations submitted without the required OEM authorization documentation will not be considered for award.
- Notice is internally inconsistent on competition type. The text lists several competition options (full and open, only one source, total small business set-aside) and the SAM set-aside field says none, so it is unclear which applies.
Full and Open Competition - FAR Part 12
