About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, under Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting large cavitation channel material components on a sole-source basis from GE Vernova, with capabilities statements due August 19 at 12:00 PM noon. This is not a competitive proposal request; the Government has restricted competition pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) based on proprietary rights and exclusive licensing—GE is the sole source of the required cycloconverter compound with no compatible alternatives available on the market.
The procurement encompasses four PIBe3 units (data hubs with 16-way single-mode fiber I/O communication), one RXi-142 2-Slot Premium PCI Controller (main processing unit), and twelve Thyristor Gate Cards, all on a firm fixed-price basis under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. These components form an integrated system controlling the Large Cavitation Channel main motor; replacing them with alternative suppliers would require complete redesign of the communication network, estimated at one year or more, with no guarantee of effectiveness. Lead times are substantial: 37 weeks for PIBe3s, 26 weeks for Gate Cards, and 18 weeks for the PCI Controller. Delivery is requested by September 30, 2026, to NSWC Carderock Division, Building 143, 9500 MacArthur Boulevard, Bethesda, Maryland. The NAICS code is 335314, Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing. GE Vernova has 750 employees. Questions must be submitted to Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil by August 13 at 12:00 PM noon. The Government reserves discretion to determine whether to proceed with sole-source award or open competition based on responses received.
Notice text
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for large cavitation channel material components. The compliant material is available solely from GE Vernova, as the required compound can only be purchased through GE. The NAICS code is 335314 and the business size is 750 employees.
The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to GE Vernova. The proposed action is for large cavitation channel components, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: GE is the only source of the required support, with no compatible material on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to GE Vernova using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00 PM Noon 19 August 2026. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00 PM on 08/19/2026 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil.
