About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's MCIEast Cherry Point Satellite Contracting Office at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, North Carolina, has published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source announcing plans to award a purchase order to Hawkins Inc. (Cage Code: 1YSA9) on a sole source basis for process chemicals including polymers and defoamers. The contracting office is issuing this notice in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i), which permits sole source procurements when only one source is reasonably available and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements. This procurement is related to the MCAS Cherry Point Industrial Water Treatment Plant's ongoing need for water treatment and production chemicals. The notice was posted on March 30, 2026, with a comment period deadline of May 15, 2026.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to formally communicate the government's intent to award the sole source contract to Hawkins Inc. while providing an opportunity for other responsible sources to submit capability statements within five calendar days of publication to demonstrate whether a competitive procurement should be considered instead. The government has determined that Hawkins Inc. products are the only ones that have been tested and approved for use at the facility following extensive engineering evaluation and studies, thereby justifying the sole source approach. All responsible sources, regardless of size or other criteria, may submit capability statements for consideration, though submission of statements does not guarantee a competitive procurement will be conducted. The final determination to compete this requirement remains solely within the discretion of the government based on responses received. This is not a request for competitive quotes, and the procurement covers a one-year base period with two optional years of performance.
