About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting a sole-source purchase order for Goodrich NGD-9 compound, a proprietary liquid polymer used for acoustic modification and protection on Navy vehicle surfaces. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) on a non-competitive basis because Goodrich Corporation is the only known source of this material, which took over seven years to develop and has no compatible alternatives available in the market. Interested parties may submit capabilities statements by the deadline of 12:00 PM on December 9, 2025, though this notice is not a competitive solicitation request and the government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source award. The government will evaluate submissions based on two primary factors: price reasonableness, which will be assessed through market research and comparison to previous purchases, and technical capability, with an "Acceptable" rating required for award consideration. All responses received by the December 9 deadline will be considered, and the contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose offer is most advantageous to the government based on these evaluation criteria.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and is intended as a firm fixed-price purchase order to Goodrich Corporation using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under NAICS code 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing). The requirement specifies 1,800 pounds of NGD-9 A-side compound and 882 pounds of NGD-9 B-side compound, to be delivered in 55-gallon drums along with a DMTA Qualification Test, though no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. Performance of the contract will be at the NSWCCD facility in Bethesda, Maryland, specifically the MacArthur Boulevard facility, which has specific access requirements including vehicle weight restrictions and security clearance procedures for personnel entry. Materials must be delivered in accordance with DFARS compliance requirements, including provisions for DoD unique identification or equivalent documentation. Inquiries regarding this solicitation should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil.
