Purchase Order N0010426PLA33

Whipp & Bourne Associates LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was awarded a $516,704.51 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) on November 26, 2025, for repair and modification services of circuit breakers under National Stock Number 7H-5925-013366879. The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion by November 18, 2027, with performance taking place in Virginia Beach. No small business set-aside was applied to this procurement, indicating the government determined Whipp & Bourne Associates LLC's competitive capability in the open market. The award fulfills a pre-solicitation notice issued by the Department of the Navy, which sought specialized repair services for six units of circuit breakers on a single-source basis, justified by the government's determination that data acquisition and reverse engineering were economically infeasible.

The procurement reflects the Navy's ongoing need for critical electrical infrastructure support, specifically for circuit breaker maintenance and repair services essential to naval logistics operations. Whipp & Bourne Associates LLC's award aligns with its established track record as a primary supplier of circuit breaker equipment and related electrical components to NAVSUP, with prior contracts ranging in value from approximately $6,000 to $431,000. The firm fixed-price structure provides cost certainty for the government while leveraging the contractor's specialized expertise in meeting precise Navy technical requirements for power protection systems. No subcontractors are identified in the award documentation.
