Notice of Intent to Sole Source to General Dynamics Mission Systems

The Department of the Navy's Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intention to award a sole source contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems. The notice pertains to the procurement of USSPACECOM equipment, specifically General Dynamic KG-175X and KG-175F units, under a firm-fixed-price purchase order. This announcement serves as advance notification of the Navy's intent to negotiate and award the contract on a noncompetitive basis. The acquisition falls under NAICS Code 334111 with a business size standard of 1,250 employees and will be conducted under FAR Part 12 for commercial items and FAR Part 13 for simplified acquisitions. The point of contact for this procurement is Robert Stauffacher, who can be reached via email at the provided Navy address.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the Navy's planned sole source award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to express their interest and capabilities. Interested parties must submit any comments, questions, or expressions of interest via email to the designated point of contact by July 31, 2025, at 1300 PST, with phone or 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 notice emphasizes that this is not a request for quotes and that any decision by the government not to compete based on responses received is entirely at the agency's discretion. While the information provided is anticipatory and non-binding, firms believing they can fulfill the requirement may still be considered by the agency if they respond appropriately within the specified timeframe.
