About this opportunity

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, California intends to procure a Helium Recovery System (Qty 1 EA) with part number RLH026A22Y010QW00 on a non-competitive basis. The procurement is specifically sole sourced to Bluefors Cryocooler Technologies Inc. located in Syracuse, New York. Interested firms can submit a written response to yvonne.c.stockwell.civ@us.navy.mil within 5 days of the publication date, referencing solicitation number N6893625Q5055. The response must include a capability statement demonstrating the firm's experience, assets, background, and ability to perform the work without compromising quality, accuracy, reliability, or schedule. All responding firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and maintain an active registration status.

The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category and falls under the NAICS category of Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516). The specific recovery system is designed to service only one magnet and is notably compact enough to fit in the required space. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement is for a single unit of the specialized helium recovery system. Potential contractors must be aware of updated SAM registration requirements, including the need for a notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator within 30 days of registration. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 29, 2025, with a response deadline of May 5, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for potential contractors to express interest.

Going forward, all new entities registering in GSA's System for Award Management (SAM), as well as existing registrations being updated or renewed, will require the submission of an original, signed notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator for the entity associated with the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number.  Effective June 11, 2018, entities who create or update their registration in SAM.gov to apply only for federal assistance opportunities such as grants, loans, and other financial assistance programs, have a notarized letter on file within 30 days of registration.  Additionally, Effective June 29, 2018, all non-Federal entities who create or update their registration in SAM.gov, have a notarized letter on file within 30 days of registration.  It is recommended that all interested parties be aware that processing this additional information may take several days and are proactive in maintaining the SAM registrations in an "Active" status as the government cannot award to an entity without an "Active" SAM registration.  More information can be found at www.gsa.gov/samupdate.
