(RFQ) Number is N6660426Q0314

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award on a firm fixed price (FFP) purchase order for the following Crystal Group items on a Sole Source basis, no substitutions allowed.

The Government’s existing platform infrastructure is manufactured by Crystal Group, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which necessitates that the required hardware must also be acquired from Crystal Group. Without the essential ruggedization process Crystal Group provides, the new hardware would not be compatible with existing and would not be compatible with various conditions the platform is subjected to. Utilizing different hardware is not feasible as it would require complete redesign, engineering, and manufacturing of a new platform. This alternative would also demand extensive qualification testing, leading to significant cost overruns and schedule delays, therefore, Crystal Group is the only source capable of meeting this requirement.
