About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the procurement of Industrial Pipe Cutting & Beveling Equipment from E.H. Wachs (Illinois Tool Works, Inc.). The Supervisor of Shipbuilding Overhaul & Repair in Groton, Connecticut intends to award a firm fixed price contract under the simplified acquisition threshold using FAR Part 12 for commercial products and services. This sole source procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as E.H. Wachs is determined to be the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's specific requirements. The equipment is needed for the Naval Submarine Support Facility at Naval Submarine Base New London to support submarine operations. The procurement includes specialized pipe cutting and beveling equipment such as a 1" Small Diameter Split Frame Machine, universal right angle air drive motor, collet kits, and various tool slide components.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the market of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capabilities for future procurements. Interested contractors may submit capability statements by 7:00 AM EST on August 14, 2025, to the designated contracting officers via email, though this is not a competitive solicitation. Any responsible source can participate by clearly demonstrating their ability to furnish the requested supplies, with responses submitted electronically to the specified Navy contracting personnel. The government will not compensate vendors for information received and retains full discretion in determining whether to compete future contracts based on responses. Delivery of the equipment is required by October 3, 2025, to the Naval Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut, with specific access requirements for contractors without military credentials.
