About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source purchase order for a personnel elevator at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF). The notice specifically identifies RHD Enterprises, Inc. as the intended sole source vendor for this procurement. The contract opportunity is designated as an Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business Sole Source procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.1506(a). Market research conducted by the government determined that only one source was available to meet the specific technical requirements for the elevator. The notice was posted on February 7, 2025, with a response deadline of February 13, 2025.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to lease a temporary personnel elevator for Dry Dock 6, with specific operational requirements including a 10-month lease period and potential 2-month extension option. Contractors interested in challenging the sole-source determination must submit a capability statement via email to David Willey by February 13, 2025. The elevator must have a minimum 4,400 lbs capacity, operate 24/7, and accommodate approximately 350 personnel with a two-stop capability. Key requirements include submission of a structural engineering design package within 30 days of award, 6-hour maximum emergency repair response time, and compliance with seismic design criteria for Zone 2 or greater. While the notice is not soliciting competitive proposals, the government will consider any submitted capability statements to potentially modify its procurement approach. Importantly, the government retains full discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract and will not reimburse contractors for response costs.
