About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command, acting on behalf of the Department of the Navy, has issued a Special Notice for on-site support services for the Disorientation Research Device (DRD). This Special Notice, posted on March 20, 2026, seeks to procure technical support from Environmental Tectonics Corporation (ETC) for the DRD, which is described as Navy Medicine's most unique and expensive research system. The acquisition will be conducted as a sole source contract under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), meaning only ETC is being considered as the contractor. The contract is anticipated to commence on March 30, 2026, and represents a critical procurement for maintaining the Navy's advanced research capabilities.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure one field engineer to provide on-site support for five days annually, delivering up to eight hours per day of general maintenance support, performance checks, and troubleshooting assistance to the NAMRL engineering team. Contractors must submit proposals by the March 27, 2026 deadline to be considered for this opportunity. The Navy has determined that ETC possesses the only responsible source capability to provide Original Equipment Manufacturer-level support necessary for the DRD's operation and maintenance, which must maintain 100% availability and functionality to ensure continuity of world-class research data collection. Prior to contract award, the Contracting Officer will conduct a price analysis to establish fair and reasonable pricing, with expectations that the negotiated price will reflect a discount from ETC's commercial price list. Inquiries regarding this procurement should be directed to the Material Management Department at the Naval Medical Research Command via usn.detrick.nmrc.mbx.mmdcontracts@health.mil.
Notice text
For the DRD OEM, ETC to provide one (1) field engineer onsite for five (5) days, for up to eight (8) hours per day, one (1) visit per year for general maintenance support, performance checks and troubleshooting support to NAMRL engineering team.
