MK70 System Components Refurbishment

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division at China Lake, California is procuring cleaning, refurbishment, and transportation services for existing MK70 system components through a sole-source acquisition. The contract opportunity is designated for Extreme Pressure Solutions (EPS) located in Camarillo, California, as the agency has determined that only EPS possesses the specialized knowledge and capability to perform the required process that was specifically designed and approved for their projects. While this is intended as a sole-source procurement, the agency will consider written responses from other firms that believe they can fulfill the requirements, provided they submit capability statements demonstrating their experience, assets, background, and ability to perform the work without compromising quality, accuracy, reliability, and schedule. Interested parties must submit their responses via email to the contracting officer by September 8, 2025, which is five days after the publication date of September 3, 2025. All responding firms must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database, including completion of new notarized letter requirements for Entity Administrator identification.

This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designations and is structured as an unrestricted competition despite the sole-source intent. Extreme Pressure Solutions is identified as the incumbent contractor with specialized process knowledge that the Navy considers essential for successful completion of the MK70 refurbishment work. The solicitation number N6893625Q5155 references work categorized under NAICS code 325510 for Paint and Coating Manufacturing and PSC code J014 for Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment for Guided Missiles. No specific contract value, quantity of equipment to be refurbished, or performance timeline details are provided in this pre-solicitation notice. The agency emphasizes that SAM registration processing may take several days, particularly with the new notarization requirements, and recommends proactive maintenance of active registration status since awards cannot be made to entities without active SAM registration.
