About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded contract N6247026C0011 to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) on a sole-source basis for web-based subscription services to ASTM International materials and standards collections on September 24, 2026.
NAVFAC Atlantic, located in Norfolk, VA, justified the sole-source award under FAR 6.103-1 on the basis that ASTM holds exclusive copyright ownership and proprietary control of the standards. Only direct digital subscriptions through ASTM's proprietary platform (ASTM Compass) or individual standard purchases directly from ASTM can meet the government's requirement for guaranteed immediate access to critical updates without user, IP range, or download volume restrictions. A SAM.gov synopsis posted July 16, 2026 generated three firm responses, but none were capable of providing the required ASTM services.
The subscription will provide 24/7 access to ASTM Complete Book of Standards with all volumes and sections of active and historical standards. Access recipients include DoD employees of NAVFAC, Marine Corps PWD (USMC), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), 249th Engineering Battalion (USACE), U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), U.S. Air Force and Space Force Base Civil Engineering Squadrons, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense Sustainment (OSD), and Washington Headquarters Services (WHS). The contract is Firm-Fixed Price with one base year and four one-year option periods, commencing September 30, 2026 and concluding September 29, 2031. Funding is provided by FY25 Military Construction Design (MILCON).
