Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Material Handling Equipment

The Naval Air Systems Command has issued a special notice announcing its intent to award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to DEMATIC CORP for material handling equipment services. The Department of the Navy agency intends to establish a five-year ordering period BPA for preventative maintenance and repair services of government-owned DEMATIC material handling equipment. The equipment is located at Fleet Readiness Center Southeast in Jacksonville, Florida and Fleet Readiness Center East in Cherry Point, North Carolina. The procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions for commercial products and services, with DEMATIC identified as the only reasonable source due to their status as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary data rights.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties have five calendar days from the August 4, 2025 publication date to submit capability statements, with responses due by August 8, 2025. The notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive quotes, and any capability statements received will be reviewed solely to determine whether competitive procurement should be conducted instead. All responsible sources are eligible to submit capability statements, though the government retains full discretion in determining whether to proceed with the planned sole source award based on any responses received. The BPA will cover as-needed maintenance and repair services for specialized material handling equipment at the two naval facilities.
