About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command is awarding a firm fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis to Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company for 1,500 MK 288 MOD 1 Igniter assemblies, with proposals due September 16, 2026. This is not a competitive procurement; the Government will award to PacSci as the sole source, though responsible sources may submit capability statements or quotations for consideration in determining future competitive opportunity.
Place of performance is Chandler, Arizona (PacSci facility), with administrative oversight at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. The NAICS code is 325920, Explosives Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 750 employees; the PSC is 1377, Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellants.
The requirement is 1,500 units (five delivery line items of 300 units each, part number 6105392) with all deliveries due on or before November 30, 2028. Base period of performance is 26 months from contract award. PacSci is the only qualified source; the MK 288 MOD 1 is a highly specialized electro-explosive device with rigorous First Article Testing requirements and complex manufacturing tolerances. Alternative vendors have previously failed to achieve FAT and design requirements; Government estimates qualification of another source would incur approximately $750,000 in costs and unacceptable schedule delays.
Contractor must comply with SPEC 6303324 Revision F quality assurance and production lot testing including destructive testing, submit test procedures and lot acceptance reports within 30 days of testing, provide failure analysis reports within 10 days of failure notification, and generate Ammunition Data Cards per MIL-STD-1168. Requirements include CMMC Level 2 (Self) cybersecurity compliance, item unique identification per DFARS 252.211-7003, and security compliance per 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM). Access to export-controlled technical drawings requires active Joint Certification Program registration; requests should be directed to Amy.K.Prisco.civ@US.Navy.mil with a copy of DD2345.
