Aegis Power Systems 24VDC Power Supply

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia intends to procure 24VDC power supplies from Aegis Power Systems, Inc. on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking these commercial electrical supplies, specifically converters and electrical nonrotating equipment classified under NAICS code 335999 for miscellaneous electrical equipment and component manufacturing. This procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition, meaning the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one contractor rather than conducting a competitive bidding process. The contracting officer Frank Vennell has specified that all questions regarding this notice must be submitted via email to frank.vennell@navy.mil, with phone calls not being accepted. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on June 17, 2025, with a response deadline of July 2, 2025, providing potential vendors with approximately two weeks to submit any questions or responses.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available to all eligible contractors without restrictions for small businesses, veteran-owned enterprises, or other special categories. Aegis Power Systems, Inc. appears to be the designated sole source contractor for this acquisition, indicating they likely possess unique capabilities, proprietary technology, or existing contractual relationships that justify the non-competitive procurement approach. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantity requirements for the 24VDC power supplies, as these details are typically reserved for the formal solicitation document that would follow this pre-solicitation announcement. No timeline for service delivery or performance period is mentioned in the current notice. The classification under PSC code 6130 for converters and electrical nonrotating equipment suggests these are specialized power conversion devices likely intended for naval applications or shipboard systems.
