The current anticipated contract award date is 30 September 2025. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Spectra Technologies, LLC located at 12949 W AR 274 HWY, Camden, AR 71701, under authority of the signed Determination & Findings In Accordance With (IAW) 10 U.S.C. § 4022(f)(2), allowing for the award of a follow-on production contract without the use of competitive procedures when competitive procedures are utilized for selection of the parties for participation in the transaction and the participants in the transaction successfully completed the prototype project provided for in the transaction. NSWC Crane awarded an Other Transaction Agreement, Agreement Number N001642490003, IAW 10 U.S.C. § 4022 to Spectra Technologies, LLC on September 9, 2024.
