About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, has issued a Notice of Intent for a sole-source CRNAV (Coastal and Regional Navigation) membership procurement. This special notice serves as a combined synopsis/solicitation prepared under Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 12.6 for commercial items. The government intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to MARIN, the Marine Institute of the Netherlands, which is the designated coordinator for CRNAV management support. The procurement is being conducted on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) because MARIN is determined to be the only reasonably available source for this specialized service. The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses from Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2025-05 and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a sole-source acquisition for a two-year CRNAV membership, with delivery required by October 1, 2025. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit capabilities statements by September 11, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST to demonstrate their ability to provide the required services. Responses must include comprehensive information such as pricing, FOB terms, contact details, GSA contract numbers if applicable, business size classification, payment terms, and clear confirmation of the ability to meet all specifications. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received, and all submissions will be evaluated solely to assess whether competitive bidding should be pursued. Contractors should direct their capabilities statements to the specified government point of contact and ensure compliance with all stated requirements and deadlines.
Notice text
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

The proposed action is for CRNAV membership for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).
