Exhaust duct

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure an exhaust duct through a sole source acquisition from Rolls-Royce and their authorized distributors. This procurement falls under the Gas Turbines and Jet Engines category and will be conducted using FAR 6.302-1 for sole source justification, utilizing both Commercial and Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13. The government has indicated that interested parties may submit proposals or express their capability to respond prior to the offer due date, but this will only be considered to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead. The decision to maintain the sole source approach remains at the government's discretion regardless of responses received. The solicitation is expected to be posted to Beta.Sam.Gov on August 14, 2025, with quotes due by August 18, 2025, and all questions should be directed via email to the contracting officer who is currently teleworking.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and specifically identifies Rolls-Royce as the sole source contractor along with their authorized distributors. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price supply contract for this requirement. While specific quantities, timeline details, and contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the attached solicitation document is expected to contain detailed requirements, specifications, applicable contract clauses and provisions, as well as shipping and invoicing information. Prospective offerors are responsible for independently downloading the solicitation documents from Beta.Sam.Gov and monitoring for any amendments, as the government assumes no responsibility for offerors' inability to access posted materials. The procurement falls under NAICS code 333131 for Mining Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing, though the specific application appears to be related to gas turbine and jet engine components.
