This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR part 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis to Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX). The request for Quotation (RFQ) number is N66604-26-Q-0381. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 334220 - Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The Small Business Size Standard is 1250 Employees. PSC is 5340 – Hardware, Commercial. The Government requires radio frequency circuits that need to be supported under stringent size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. The SpaceX Walkman radio is the only radio that can support a subset of the required circuits within the smallest SWaP form factor currently available. There are no other radios in the open market that have the exact fit, form, and function as SpaceX Walkman Radio. Using a different model would require designing, engineering, and testing a new system to the exact specifications to seamlessly integrate and perform with the Government's current infrastructure. This would result in significant duplication of cost and schedule delays; therefore, this acquisition can only be obtained through SpaceX. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to purchase on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis with the below CLIN structure. This solicitation is not a request for competitive quotes. A determination not to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government.
