About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), specifically the Supervisor of Shipbuilding in Bath, Maine (SSBA), has issued a Special Notice of Intent to award a Sole Source contract to WAHTS Hearing from Lebanon, New Hampshire. The contract is for the procurement of Wireless Automated Hearing Test Systems, which will be purchased directly from the manufacturer through a Firm Fixed Price delivery order. The procurement will be conducted using FAR Part 13 - Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition. The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available based on exclusive licensing agreements and specific technical requirements. The Notice is categorized under the Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing NAICS code 339112.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to acquire specialized hearing test equipment that meets specific federal standards, including OSHA 1910.95, ANSI S3.6, and IEC 60645-1 requirements. Interested parties may identify their interest and submit product information by emailing hannah.e.lavoie.civ@us.navy.mil and pamela.j.everett2.civ@us.navy.mil by December 23, 2024. The contract is set aside for small businesses, and the procurement will utilize the sole source authority under FAR 13.106-l(b)(l)(i), which allows for single-source solicitation under specific circumstances. Market research has confirmed that WAHTS Hearing is the only authorized distributor of this FDA-registered audiometer system, which features a tablet-based audio app with a built-in audiometer for portable testing. Contractors should note that this Notice is not a request for quotation, and the government retains full discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract.
