PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY

NOTICE THAT WILL BE ISSUED.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport intends to procure the following testing services on a limited source basis to Hi-Test Laboratories, Inc. and NTS Technical Systems. The Government requires specialized environmental and durability testing to ensure equipment meets critical performance and safety standards. Utilizing facilities and platforms approved by the Cognizant Technical Authority is a mandatory minimum requirement. Testing conducted by an unapproved source introduces a high risk of invalid testing data, which would fail to verify product integrity and directly compromise subsequent installation and operational safety.

Qualifying an additional source to perform this highly specialized testing would require a substantial investment of non-recoverable engineering costs and a multi-year validation effort.

Consequently, soliciting sources that do not currently possess the required Technical Authority approval would result in substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition, as well as unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements.

Accordingly, it is in the best interest of the Government to limit competition for this requirement to the established, qualified sources capable of meeting these critical technical standards.

Request for Quote (RFQ) Number is N66604-26-Q-0467.

This requirement is being solicited on an unrestricted basis as concurred with by the NUWCDIVNPT Office of Small Business Programs. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 541380; the Small Business Size Standard is $19M.
