About this opportunity

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC, IHEODTD), has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract for a Model S-1 ATTRITOR with Cryogenic Accessories. The notice identifies Union Process, Inc. from Akron, Ohio, as the sole intended contractor for this procurement. The company is recognized as the only known US manufacturer of Laboratory Attritors capable of meeting specific government requirements, including explosion-proof rating and cryogenic grinding capabilities. The contract opportunity falls under NAICS code 333248 for Industrial Machinery Manufacturing and will result in a firm fixed price contract. The procurement will be conducted using non-competitive procedures under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (C) (1).

Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit responses electronically by 3:30 p.m. EST on March 8, 2025, directly to Sharon Cooper via email. All interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide clear documentation demonstrating their capability to provide the specified services. The government emphasizes that this notice is not a request for quotes but rather a notification of intent to sole source the contract to Union Process, Inc. Interested parties may submit statements, quotes, and capabilities, understanding that the determination to compete the proposed contract action remains solely within the government's discretion. The resulting contract will be a firm fixed price agreement, and oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Notably, while other commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) laboratory attritors exist, they do not meet the specific cryogenic and explosion-proof requirements of this procurement.
