About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking engineering services through a sole-source procurement with Mandex Inc., focused on improving existing sonar array designs and transducer technologies for the U.S. Navy. The procurement is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order issued under solicitation number N6660424Q0026, targeting specialized engineering services across three technical areas specified in the Statement of Work. Mandex Inc. was selected as the sole provider due to their extensive subject matter expertise and prior involvement with the governmental system's transducer consultation, having been approved by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for these specialized engineering services. The solicitation indicates that awarding the contract to any other company would result in substantial cost duplication and unacceptable project delays. Quotes are due by December 19, 2024, with the procurement not being set aside for small businesses.
The contract will be performed at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, with a period of performance from December 13, 2024, to September 30, 2025. The procurement has a DO-C9 priority rating and will be delivered FOB Destination. While specific contract value details are not explicitly stated, the sole-source nature and specialized technical requirements suggest a targeted, precision-focused engagement.

Delivery will be made directly to the naval station, with the government maintaining discretion over competitive procurement considerations for future requirements.
