About this opportunity
Naval Supply Systems Command intends to solicit continuing preventive maintenance and technical support for five Robotic MEI Racer Edging Machines on a sole-source basis, with response due by May 25, 2026. The procurement is planned as sole source because MEI Systems, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer of the proprietary software maintenance and preventive maintenance service plan required for the Racer Edgers; market research confirmed no other vendors can provide the necessary software installations, upgrades, and compatibility services.
Place of performance is the Finishing Department at Naval Ophthalmic Readiness Activity (NORA). The maintenance services will include software maintenance, technical support, and component and parts compatibility. The machines were originally procured on January 15, 2019, and perform approximately 75 percent of the laboratory's fabrication processes. NORA produces roughly 560,000 pairs of spectacles annually, representing 37 percent of the Department of Defense Optical Fabrication Enterprise's 1.5 million annual pairs.
The contract will cover a twelve-month period of performance. Anticipated award value is $185,000 from Navy Operation and Maintenance Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations. MEI Systems, Inc. (CAGE Code 8HY12) is the incumbent contractor and sole planned awardee.
Notice text
Naval Ophthalmic Readiness Activity (NORA) requires continuing preventive maintenance and service for five (5) Robotic MEI Racer Edging Machines. These MEI Racer edging machines were procured from MEI Systems, Inc. on 15 January 2019. They were installed in the Finishing Department at NORA. Preventive maintenance and support services are to be performed on each MEI Racer Edger. The maintenance and support services shall provide software maintenance and technical support services. The maintenance will ensure optimum performance and reduce downtime contributing directly to the Department of Defense Optical Fabrication Enterprise and will maintain operational readiness to its beneficiaries.
As software support and licensed preventive maintenance on MEI Racer edgers is proprietary and must conform to installed systems, the Government plans to solicit this requirement on a sole source basis. Justification for Sole Source is attached to this notice.
