About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center San Diego has issued a Special Notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Baker Adaptive Optics for multi-conjugate adaptive optics technical support. The contract, referenced as N00244-25-Q-0115, will be awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) with the reasoning that only one source can meet the government's specific needs. The notice pertains to technical support for upgrading the Low Power Beam Control Testbed (LPBCT) and establishing a multi-conjugate adaptive optics testbed in support of the Naval Postgraduate School. Baker Adaptive Optics has been identified as the sole source due to their proprietary hardware and software that cannot be replicated or integrated by other companies. The contract falls under NAICS code 541330 for Engineering Services, with a business size standard of $25.5 million.
Interested contractors must submit a capability statement by 10:00 AM PST on March 18, 2025, via email to jonathan.a.stames.civ@us.navy.mil. The capability statement must not exceed 6 pages (8.5 x 11 inches) and must use a font size of at least 10-point, detailing management, technical, and cost information that demonstrates the ability to provide the required proprietary hardware and software support. Potential respondents should provide convincing evidence of their capability to support the adaptive optics system, understanding that this is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notice to determine whether a competitive procurement might be necessary. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source purchase order or explore alternative options based on the received capability statements. Telephone requests or offers will not be considered, and submissions will be evaluated strictly for the purpose of assessing potential alternative sources for the technical support required by the Naval Postgraduate School.
