About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific intends to conduct a sole source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b) for specialized helium proportional counters, which are hazard-detecting instruments classified under NAICS code 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing). The agency will award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to Reuter-Stokes, LLC, based on the determination that this vendor is the only source capable of meeting the government's specific technical requirements. Although the procurement is planned as noncompetitive, the government will consider quotations from all responsible sources that are registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Interested parties may submit comments, questions, or concerns regarding this notice exclusively via email to stephen.a.oneill8.civ@us.navy.mil, with a deadline of December 15, 2025 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. The government will evaluate all submissions received by this date to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead of proceeding with the sole source award.
The procurement includes no set-aside designations and targets Reuter-Stokes, LLC (CAGE Code 24911, located in Twinsburg, Ohio) as the intended awardee. The requirement specifies a total of 60 helium proportional counters across two models: 40 units of the HE-3 Proportional Counter (1-inch diameter by 7.3-inch active length, Part Number RS-P4-0808-239) and 20 units of the HE-3 Proportional Counter (1-inch diameter by 20-inch active length, Part Number RS-P4-0820-226), all with stainless steel bodies and threaded connections. Both counter types operate at 8.5 atmospheres and contain varying volumes of helium-3, with the smaller units containing approximately 0.74 liters per counter at standard temperature and pressure and the larger units containing approximately 1.95 liters per counter. The notice does not disclose the contract value or award amount. A Request for Quote will be made available upon request to interested vendors.
