What this contract is for

N0016426Q0160 – SOLE SOURCE – TRIGGER SPARK GAPS – FSG 5960 – NAICS 334511 ISSUE DATE 21-MAY-2026 – CLOSING DATE 29-MAY-2026 – 11:00 PM Eastern Time ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for an initial quantity of two (2) Trigger Spark Gaps, part number ZR7512 SPRK GAP, TRIG VAC, 45 KV with additional options over the next four years to purchase an additional quantity of eight (8) Trigger Spark Gaps. Required delivery is within 22 weeks of award or option exercise. SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source only MPD Components, Inc. of Owensboro, Kentucky, Cage Code 33173, under the authority of FAR 12.201-1 for commercial items using simplified procedures. This is being solicited on a sole source only basis because the ZR7512 is a cold-cathode, vacuum-triggered spark gap designed for high-voltage switching applications. It is a General Electric product, part of the ZR-series triggered vacuum gaps, and is used in systems requiring rapid, high-current switching of stored energy. The ZR7512 combines the wide voltage range and reliability of vacuum gaps with the ease of triggering of gas gaps. It is suitable for non-repetitive high-current pulses with minimal delay and jitter, making it ideal for fault protection and energy discharge. The ZR7512 Triggered Spark Gap is a mission-critical safety and operational component that provides essential high-voltage and high-current protection for the Aegis Simplified Driver (SDR), the SPS-49 Radar Klystron microwave tube, associated testing infrastructure, and operating personnel. Extensive market and engineering analysis confirms that no other triggered spark gap possesses the...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
