About this opportunity
The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific) has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source indicating their intention to award a Cost-Plus contract on a noncompetitive basis to North Carolina State University. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command is the contracting agency responsible for this procurement action. This special notice serves as an announcement of the government's intent to proceed with sole source procurement rather than competitive bidding. The contract will be awarded under FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, with authority for other than full and open competition based on 10 U.S.C 2394 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The notice was posted on July 3, 2025, and falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences.
The primary objective of this sole source contract is to obtain development services from North Carolina State University to improve lithium fiber cells with increased capacity, supporting national defense research and development initiatives. The government has determined that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements, justifying the sole source approach. This notice explicitly states that it is NOT a request for competitive quotes or proposals, and responses to this notice will not influence the government's decision to proceed with the sole source award. The applicable size standard is 1,000 employees under the specified NAICS code, though this primarily applies to the already-selected contractor. Interested parties have until July 18, 2025, to review this notice, though any determination by the government not to compete based on responses remains solely at the government's discretion.
