The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $108,812.44 to Reuter-Stokes, LLC, a subsidiary of General Electric Company, for the commercial-off-the-shelf procurement of sixty Helium-3 proportional counters.

The procurement involves no set-aside designation and reflects the government's determination that Reuter-Stokes possesses unique qualifications for this specialized equipment, consistent with the company's established role as a key supplier to Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for advanced radiation detection solutions supporting naval intelligence and national security missions.
