The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation under solicitation number N0016426Q0160 for the procurement of Trigger Spark Gaps. This requirement includes an initial quantity of two units (part number ZR7512) with options to purchase an additional eight units over the next four years. These cold-cathode, vacuum-triggered spark gaps are designed for high-voltage switching applications, specifically for use in the Aegis Simplified Driver, the SPS-49 Radar Klystron microwave tube, and associated testing infrastructure. Required delivery for all units is within 22 weeks of contract award or option exercise.
This is a sole source procurement intended for MPD Components, Inc. of Owensboro, Kentucky, under the authority of FAR 12.201-1 for commercial items using simplified procedures. The ZR7512 is a mission-critical component that provides high-voltage and high-current protection for operating personnel and equipment. Market and engineering analysis indicates that no other component possesses the necessary specifications to integrate into the current architecture without a costly engineering redesign that would introduce risks to production schedules and reliability. Although the government intends to negotiate with only one source, all responsible entities may submit a capability statement for consideration by the agency.
The solicitation is classified under NAICS 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, and PSC 5960, ELECTRON TUBES AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE. There is no set-aside (NONE/NONE) associated with this firm-fixed-price request for quotes. Responses are due by May 30, 2026, and must be submitted to the point of contact, Rose Brown, at the performance location in Crane, Indiana. One attachment, a PDF version of the RFQ, was provided at the time of publication.
