N66604-26-Q-0434 Combined Synopsis/Solicitation

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation will be open for less than 30 days, in accordance with FAR 5.203(b). Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is N66604-26- Q-0434.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a five year, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order to Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN), Inc, (Cage: 0XEB7) on a sole source basis for Undersea Acoustic Data Collection and Analysis services in accordance with the Government Statement of Work

(SOW).

This requirement is solicited on an unrestricted basis as concurred with by NUWCDIVNPT’s Office of Small Business Programs. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is541330, Engineering Services ; the Small Business Size Standard is $25.5MThe PSC code is R425.

NUWCDIVNPT requires procurement of Firm Fixed Priced (FFP), Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) Sole Source Services for undersea acoustic data collection, processing, and analysis during a scheduled Government Fleet Exercise in accordance with the Government SOW. Their specific hardware is already engineered to interface seamlessly with the Government’s undersea fiber optic cable architecture. In addition, BBN is executing concurrent activities on behalf of the Government at the designated exercise location. Introducing a second, separate contractor to perform this specific acoustic measurement task would cause logistical interference, require duplicate mobilization/demobilization costs, and create unacceptable schedule risks during a complex, multi-asset naval exercise. The required rapid deployment timeline precludes any other vendor from meeting the requirement without causing a schedule failure and exorbitant duplicative costs. As such, BBN is the only source capable of meeting the Government's requirements.

This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
