About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command, through the Supervisor of Shipbuilding Overhaul & Repair (SSGR) in Groton, Connecticut, issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the manufacture of Submarine Safety Rail (Flying Bridge) Stanchions. This special notice, published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101, announces the Navy's intent to award a firm fixed-price contract to GK Mechanical Systems LLC, located at 934B Federal Road, Brookfield, Connecticut. The procurement is being conducted under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) (FAR 6.302-1), which permits sole-source awards when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice was originally posted on December 8, 2025, and was subsequently amended on December 16, 2025, to include an additional contract line item for products manufactured using GK Mechanical's proprietary drawing. The award represents a procurement for specialized submarine components with delivery scheduled for August 14, 2026.
The primary objective of this sole-source procurement is to obtain replacement safety stanchion parts for submarine sail operations, with GK Mechanical Systems identified as the original equipment manufacturer holding proprietary drawings for these specialized components. Interested contractors wishing to compete for this contract must submit a capability statement by 5:00 PM EST on January 6, 2026, clearly demonstrating their ability to manufacture the required supplies in accordance with the technical specifications. Submissions should be directed to Stephanie Neale (Stephanie.L.Neale.civ@us.navy.mil) and Roland Parrilla (Roland.J.Parrilla.civ@us.navy.mil) at SSGR Groton. While the notice specifies no solicitation will be posted as a formal competitive procurement, the Government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the contract based on capability statements received. Contractors selected for award must be prepared to deliver components to Sub Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, during business hours (Monday through Friday, 0700–1330 EST), and will require appropriate base access credentials including DBIDS credentials for personnel.
