About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source procurement by Marine Corps Base Quantico, Security Battalion, Explosive Ordnance Disposal. The Security Battalion requires a Portable X-Ray System manufactured by Novo Digital Radiography to safely x-ray ordnance items and provide intelligence to the intelligence community. The specific procurement includes one NOVO DR Ultimate III System (Part Number NV22DSSRS02), one NOVO DR Desktop Charger for 15D/22D Detector Batteries (Part Number NVCFPD015), one NOVO DR Falcon/CB communication cable to RJ45 2m (Part Number NVCOMMTORJ4501001), and shipping within CONUS. The justification asserts that NOVO is the only responsible source available due to exclusive proprietary rights and the manufacturer's unique integration with the broader Explosive Ordnance Disposal operational infrastructure. Supporting rationale includes that NOVO's high-fidelity panel and mesh system is already validated by law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and SOCOM, and that bomb squads across the military community use NOVO x-ray systems.
The related Notice of Intent Sole Source indicates the Marine Corps intends to award a firm fixed price contract using FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures to Novo Dr, Inc., located at 498 E Reid Road, Grand Blanc, Michigan 48439-222. The solicitation invites interested vendors to respond by August 5, 2026, at 4:00 PM via email to Marine Corps System Command's point of contact to indicate whether they can provide the required specified x-ray system with equivalent capability. The contract is being processed on a sole source basis due to NOVO DR INC being the only manufacturer of the requisite systems already integrated with Explosive Ordnance Disposal operational infrastructure.
