About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, is soliciting a five-year sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for supplies and services related to electronic test equipment, laboratory instruments, and maintenance and repair services. The procurement covers multiple product service codes including instrument manufacturing for measuring and testing electrical signals, national defense research and development services, electronic countermeasures equipment, and laboratory equipment and supplies. This is a commercial items acquisition prepared under FAR Part 12 simplified procedures, with quotations requested via email and responses required within one business day of receipt. The award will be made on a firm fixed price basis, with individual call orders under the BPA not to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The combined synopsis and solicitation was posted on April 13, 2026, with a closing date of April 27, 2026; this announcement constitutes the only solicitation and no separate written solicitation will be issued.
This procurement is designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside with an estimated total not-to-exceed value of $500,000 across fiscal years 2026 through 2030. Applied Physical Electronics, L.C. (APELC) is identified as the intended sole source contractor, selected based on the proprietary nature of its RS-105 system with Marx Generators and related equipment used for electromagnetic pulse testing, which market research determined no other vendors could provide. The BPA will have a five-year period of performance from June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2031, with individual call orders limited to a maximum of $250,000 each. All deliveries must be made to the NSWC Dahlgren facility in Dahlgren, Virginia, with specific delivery requirements of Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. local time. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable, and payment will be made through either Purchase Card or the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) electronic invoicing system.

The BPA shall include the terms to allow the government credit card and wide area workflow (WAWF) as the methods of payments.
Please note that a BPA is not a contract. A BPA is a streamlined method for acquiring products or services on an as-needed basis from qualified sources that are readily available and thus eliminate the need for repetitive costly re-procurements. There is no minimum or maximum guaranteed quantity. All calls/orders must be acknowledged by the selected contractor in order to be retained on the BPA calling list. The Government will not be issuing a formal Request for Proposal because this notice will result in a sole source BPA. In addition, the Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this notice. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this notice. Individual call numbers shall not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Procedures of $250,000. Period of performance for the BPA not to exceed 5 years after date of BPA award. BPA calls issued will be firm fixed price. Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13 will be utilized.
All costs associated with this requirement must be included in the quoted price. This includes shipping and freight to Dahlgren VA 22407-1902 as well as any tariff or duty charges. No additional costs may be added after award. Where applicable, DFARS 252.225-7013, Duty-Free Entry, will be incorporated. The Government will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and the order will be issued on a firm fixed-price basis.

Submission of a quotation shall constitute the offeror’s unconditional agreement to the terms and conditions of this solicitation. The offeror shall provide documentation from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) confirming the offeror is an authorized reseller or distributor of the brand-name item(s) quoted. Quotations submitted without such documentation may not be considered for award. Quotations that take exception to the terms and conditions of this solicitation may be rejected.
Offerors are encouraged to submit published pricing, historical pricing data, or other information to support the Government’s price analysis and determination of fair and reasonable pricing. Quotes will only be accepted from authorized re-sellers who have provided a Letter of Authorization. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis.
