This document is a Justification for Sole Source Procurement under Simplified Procedures for a service contract with Metal Dynamics, Ltd.

The Navy Exchange Service Command is procuring a self-service Micro Market "a" Sea system and related shelving components for the USS JAMES E. WILLIAMS (DDG 95) ship store. The procurement includes shelving pieces, binning, and cash stand upgrades needed to address poor condition existing inventory and missing binning components. The requested delivery and installation period spans July 1 through October 31, 2026, with delivery to Building Y109 at Norfolk Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia. The supplies or services represent minimum government requirements, with estimated cost redacted in the document.

The justification establishes that Metal Dynamics, Ltd. (CAGE Code Ifq76) is the sole source capable of fulfilling requirements based on proprietary System 90 shelving that is NAVSEA-approved and listed in the NAVSEA catalog. Metal Dynamics is the approved supplier and installer under Section 654 specifications and Habitability Procurement Message F0316152-20 MAR 20. The System 90 shelving is proprietary to Metal Dynamics and has been approved for installation on 99% of Navy ship stores. The justification emphasizes that utilizing this specific system ensures interoperability of equipment between ships' stores, consistency in replacement parts procurement, and compliance with existing fleet-wide standardization. No other manufacturer produces the required System 90 Shelving/Fixtures, making competitive procurement impracticable.
