The Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking a sole source supplier, specifically Siemens Industry, Inc., to replace and refurbish a damaged motor module for the Disorientation Research Device (DRD) at the Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) in Dayton, Ohio. This procurement is classified under NAICS category 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of L066 for technical representative laboratory equipment. The solicitation is based on a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition, leveraging statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 for sole source acquisitions. The contract opportunity was posted on March 3, 2025, with proposals due by March 10, 2025. The procurement requires the replacement of one motor module and the refurbishment of another, as deemed necessary by the DRD Program Manager and NAMRL Director.

The solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation and is being pursued directly with Siemens Industry, Inc., who is identified as the sole manufacturer with proprietary engineering intellectual property and patents for the custom-designed DRD components. No market research was conducted due to Siemens being the only reasonable service supplier, and no alternative sources have expressed interest in the acquisition. The place of performance is located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio (zip code 45433). While specific award values are not detailed in the documentation, the procurement is focused on critical maintenance and spare part acquisition for the research device's lifecycle management. The contract will be posted to the government point of entry in accordance with FAR 5.202, ensuring transparency in the sole source procurement process.
