Marine Electric Systems Inc., doing business as Mesys, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $24,969.00 by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) on September 22, 2025, to procure salinity cells for the U.S. Navy. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of March 23, 2026, fulfills the requirements outlined in the pre-solicitation notice issued in July 2025, which sought 7 units of salinity cells (NSN 1H-4470-010213213-X3) designated for nuclear reactor applications. The procurement was originally intended as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 authority, citing the government's inability to obtain technical data rights and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering efforts. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
Mesys, a South Hackensack, New Jersey-based manufacturer of electronic components and maritime monitoring equipment, has established itself as a key supplier to the Department of Defense through numerous contracts with NAVSUP and the Defense Logistics Agency. The company's expertise in precision electronic sensors and components for naval systems, including prior work on Ohio-class submarine programs and salinity sensor systems, directly supports this procurement. Performance will be executed at the company's South Hackensack facility, with delivery directed to DLA Distribution centers as specified in the original solicitation.
