Notice of Intent - Sole Source

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for GFP storage, as well as engineering services for the current ESMF system.  The NAICS code is 541330 and the Product/Service Code is AC34.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to General Dynamics – Applied Physical Sciences.  The proposed action is for storage and engineering services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).  The basis for restricting competition is for the following reason: General Dynamics – Applied Physical Sciences is the proprietary service provider for the ESMF system.  The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to General Dynamics – Applied Physical Sciences using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.      

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than June 2, 2021.  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  However, all responses received by June 2, 2021 at 2:00 PM EST will be considered by the Government.  Any questions must be received via e-mail by June 1, 2021 at 2:00 PM EST.  A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
