About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract to First Line Technology, LLC for Shipboard Decontamination Station Kits, with a July 15, 2026 deadline for capability statements or quotations; this is a Total Small Business set-aside.
The procurement covers three CLINs: three units of the DT-SBDK-50 kit (26–50 personnel capacity), four units of consumables for 50 personnel, and shipping and freight. The Navy justifies sole-source award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) on the grounds that First Line Technology's kits are self-contained, rapid-deployment CBRN/TIM defense systems engineered specifically for naval vessel damage control and locked to mandatory technical configuration AEL 2-77MSC8032. The systems operate with complete independent field readiness, requiring no reliance on ship infrastructure, freshwater hookups, or external electrical power. The Navy asserts no other manufacturer can meet these precise technical features and replenishment standards without compromising interoperability, operational safety, and personnel protection requirements in the maritime environment.
Though this is not a competitive solicitation, all responsible sources that believe they can satisfy the specific technical and brand-name requirements may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for agency consideration if received by July 15, 2026.
Notice text
The Department of the Navy intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to First Line Technology, LLC (CAGE: 3PGJ2) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), as only one source is reasonably available to satisfy the agency requirements.
Requirement Details:
This procurement is for the rapid outfitting. The requirement consists of the following proprietary sole source items:
- CLIN 0001: QTY 3 - Part Number: DT-SBDK-50 (First Line Shipboard Decon Kit, 26-50 PAX)
- CLIN 0002: QTY 4 - Part Number: DT-SBDK-CONSUM-50 (Shipboard Decon Kit Consumables, 50 Personnel)
- CLIN 0003: Shipping and Freight
Sole Source Justification:
The required Shipboard Decontamination Station Kits are self-contained, rapid-deployment CBRN/TIM defense systems specifically engineered for naval vessel damage control. The specialized product design and pre-packaged features are locked to First Line Technology Part Numbers DT-SBDK-50 and DT-SBDK-CONSUM-50 in strict accordance with the mandatory AEL 2-77MSC8032 technical configuration.
These attributes are mandatory to ensure seamless integration and total interoperability with existing shipboard maritime personnel protection systems. The kits must operate with complete independent field readiness, requiring no reliance on ship infrastructure, freshwater hookups, or external electrical power sources. No other brand, product, or manufacturer can satisfy these precise technical features and replenishment standards. Procurement from an alternative source would compromise system interoperability, degrade operational safety, and fail to meet the immediate personnel protection requirements of the maritime environment.
Submission Instructions:
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these specific technical and brand-name requirements may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency if received by the response date listed above.
Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
