About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command's Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is procuring three Boreas A90-EK Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), commercial navigational instruments used for system integration applications. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) is issued under NAICS code 334511 and PSC code 6605 for navigational instruments. The procurement requires that offerors be authorized resellers of the equipment and that all materials comply with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). No specific evaluation criteria beyond meeting technical requirements are mentioned in the available documentation. The solicitation was posted on December 8, 2025, with a closing date and deadline for quotations on December 11, 2025, providing only a three-day response period for interested vendors.
This solicitation is not designated as a small business set-aside, despite initial references to small business size standards in the solicitation document. Advanced Navigation Pty. Ltd, an Australian manufacturer, is identified as the sole source provider of the required equipment, with the Navy justifying the sole source approach by stating that alternative IMUs would create unbudgeted cost duplications and cause an estimated four-month delay in program delivery. The procurement seeks three units with delivery required by January 26, 2026, to the Naval Surface Warfare Center located in Dahlgren, Virginia. Delivery must occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available solicitation documents. The point of contact for this procurement is Ashlee Wesley, reachable at ashlee.wesley@us.navy.mil or 540-742-8849.
