Sole Source to Teledyne Instruments Inc. for (50) Plug 1 CX Hi Volt Connector

The Navy is procuring fifty (50) Plug 1 CX high‑voltage connectors (NIIN 1281100‑102) for the AN/AQS‑24 sonar system. Because Teledyne Instruments has been the exclusive supplier for over a decade and the part is unmodified, the acquisition is being conducted as a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price purchase order under FAR 12.102(a). The contract ceiling does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $350 k, and the vendor must deliver all material within 36 weeks of award (quoted lead time 27 weeks). The solicitation invites capability statements or quotes prior to the closing date, even though competition is not expected. • 50 high‑voltage, armored jumper cable connectors required for a Navy sonar system. • Sole‑source award to Teledyne Instruments; only source able to provide the exact unmodified part. • Delivery must occur no later than 36 weeks after award; lead time quoted at 27 weeks. • Contract value ≤ $350 k; price, delivery, and past performance will be evaluated for best value.
