The procurement is for 3 units to be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, with Technical Drawing Package (TDP) Version 003. The government intends to negotiate with a single source under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for limited competition. Potential contractors have 45 days from the publication date (until April 7, 2025) to submit proposals, capability statements, or expressions of interest. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the government will review all submissions and retain discretion in determining whether to conduct a fully competitive procurement.

This pre-solicitation notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for this contract. The Product Service Code (PSC) falls under Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment (4220-P), suggesting specialized equipment requirements. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice. The procurement process allows interested small businesses to demonstrate their capability to meet the government's specific technical requirements for the pressure gage. The contract appears to be a direct procurement with potential for a single-source award, though the government maintains flexibility in its final contracting approach based on received submissions.
