About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract to Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company for MK 70 Initiators used in the GQM-163A Target and MK 70 Booster programs. The contract, awarded under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), is for the fabrication, acceptance inspection, and delivery of energetic initiators, with NAVSEA determining Pacific Scientific as the only approved source for these components. A sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov on July 27, 2022, and a subsequent synopsis on beta.SAM.gov on October 12, 2022, yielded no alternative responses, further supporting the sole source determination. Qualifying a second source would reportedly cause significant production delays and incur substantial costs, estimated at an undisclosed amount. The contract, valued for fiscal year 2023 with no options, will support test and evaluation fleet customers including AEGIS, CG, LSD, LCS, DDG Mods, and LHA-8 platforms, with the specific contract N0017424C0005 awarded on April 30, 2024.
