About this opportunity
The Department of Defense issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source to Mazzella J.H. Holland (Virginia Beach, Virginia) for procurement of a Life Raft Bridle Assembly under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), with posting and response deadline of September 1, 2026. No competitive solicitation will be issued. The Government determined that only one responsible source can provide the fully fabricated, structurally integrated, and safety-certified assembly at the required quality level. While individual hardware components—including 5/16"-3/8" black coated stainless steel wire rope bridles, stainless steel pendants, turnbuckles, nuts, washers, rope, swaging sleeves, thimbles, shackles, straps, and cotter pins—are commercially available through alternate vendors, the complete assembly meeting NAVSEA Drawing 601-7583591 specifications is not. The requirement stems from operational necessity for certified materials in life-saving equipment and vendor and Ship's Force fabrication limitations, including lack of specialized heavy machinery, certified testing facilities, and NAVSEA-authorized components. This is a new firm-fixed-price contract for the U.S. Navy's Ship Support and Other Procurements Branch at USN Newport News, Virginia. Responsible parties identifying interest and capability may submit information, which the Government will evaluate solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Contract value and detailed cost documentation are redacted.
