This is a Sole Source to Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement to procure SDV MK11 Tad Pole Assemblies. This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reason(s): The MK11 Tad Pole Assemblies referenced in the subject purchase request were custom manufactured by Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc. for the SDV. Other manufacturers of similar assemblies have not been vetted or approved for substitution. The additional costs and time delays for the Government to identify and evaluate another system; perform the field-testing of the equipment; and produce the required documentation and drawings would be prohibitive. As such, Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc. is the only source capable of meeting this requirement.
