About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure 32 silicon nitride target covers for Spy 1B systems from 3M Technical Ceramics Inc. through a sole source procurement. This contract opportunity, identified as 25-SIMACQ-C70-0004, is specifically for ceramic target covers used with laser tracker instruments to measure planar array angular orientations on US Navy vessels. The solicitation will be evaluated using a Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, assessing vendors on price, technical capability, and past performance. Quotes must be submitted electronically in PDF format by May 20, 2025, at 3:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time to Jorge Ortiz via email. Vendors are required to provide administrative information including CAGE Code, Dun & Bradstreet number, and tax ID, with quotes needing to remain valid for at least 60 calendar days.

The contract is not set aside for small businesses and will be awarded on a firm fixed price basis, with a target delivery date of August 1, 2025. The place of performance is Naval Construction Battalion Center in Port Hueneme, California. Extensive market research was conducted, including a sources sought notice on SAM.gov from April 7-18, 2025, which received no responses from alternative vendors. The Navy conducted $33,000 worth of material testing from August 2021 through February 2022, concluding that 3M is the only vendor capable of manufacturing these ceramic targets with the required specifications. The procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as a sole source contract, with an anticipated value that supports the technical complexity and specialized nature of the required ceramic target covers for naval combat system measurements.
