About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a procurement of 316 Stainless Steel Tubing for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility. The procurement will specifically target ultra-high purity stainless steel tubing with precise specifications for use with a Swagelok Orbital Welder. NAVSEA intends to award the contract to Swagelok Northwest, the authorized distributor, under FAR 6.302 provisions for other than full and open competition. The solicitation will be a commercial, firm fixed-price supply contract processed through simplified acquisition procedures under FAR parts 12 and 13. The specific tubing components are critical for nuclear test equipment assemblies and require exact specifications to maintain safety and reliability standards.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must monitor the sam.gov website, where Solicitation N4523A25Q4014 will be posted on or about December 19, 2024, with quotes due by January 8, 2025. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation for consideration, though the government retains sole discretion on whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on received responses. Prospective offerors are responsible for independently downloading solicitation documents and tracking any amendments on sam.gov, with no telephone or fax requests accepted. The procurement is specifically for Swagelok P/N: 6L-T24-S-134-20-E2 tubing with 1-1/2 inch OD, 0.134 inch wall thickness, 20-foot length, and an electropolished finish. The sole-source justification emphasizes that alternative components could introduce safety risks and potentially disrupt existing equipment configurations at the naval shipyard.
