Notice of intent to sole source

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, specifically NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD), has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a commercial contract for the installation and rigging of a HAAS 5-Axis CNC Milling Machine. The notice indicates the intent to award a contract directly to Phillips Corporation under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures using a Firm-Fixed-Price structure. The procurement is unique in that it requires a HAAS certified technician to perform the installation to maintain the equipment's warranty. The special notice is being issued for Fleet Readiness Center West located in Lemoore, California, and involves the precise positioning of a 30,000-pound machine within a designated facility. The total estimated contract value is $34,200, which includes daily technician rates and rigging crew services.

Contractors interested in this opportunity must meet specific eligibility criteria, primarily being a HAAS certified technician authorized to perform installation services. The Navy has established a deadline of March 21, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PST for interested parties to submit a capability statement via email to yesica.l.burrill.civ@us.navy.mil. While this is a sole source notice, the government will consider any submitted information to potentially determine if a competitive procurement is warranted. The performance period for the contract is 90 working days, with contractors required to schedule services and complete installation within that timeframe. Contractors must also comply with base access requirements, including submitting security forms at least two weeks prior to arrival. The Navy emphasizes that this notice is not a formal solicitation for competitive quotes, and the final determination to compete or sole source the contract remains entirely at the government's discretion.
