Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Comware Technical Services, Inc

The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific), part of the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract to Comware Technical Services, Inc. The procurement involves support services for two Virtual VAX Bare Metal CIRRUS systems and one Virtual VAX Bare Metal HELIOS Computer System under a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order. This notice was posted on June 12, 2025, and is not a request for quotes but rather a notification of the government's intention to proceed with noncompetitive negotiations. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 541519 with a small business size standard of $34 million and will be processed under FAR Part 12 for commercial items and FAR Part 13 for simplified acquisitions. The contracting officer for this procurement is Jerome Abaya, who can be reached via email at jerome.d.abaya.civ@us.navy.mil.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the Navy's intent to award a sole source contract while providing an opportunity for other firms to express interest and demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must submit their comments, questions, or capability statements via email to the designated point of contact by June 15, 2025, at 11:00 PM PST, with phone and fax communications explicitly excluded. All responding vendors must maintain active registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) to be considered eligible for participation. The government reserves full discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source approach or consider alternative suppliers based on responses received. The notice emphasizes that this announcement is anticipatory in nature and creates no binding obligations on the government, while still allowing qualified firms to present their qualifications for potential consideration.
