About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Mechanicsburg Office, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Mandex, Inc. for maintenance services of integrated electronic security systems (IESS) and physical access systems (PACS). The services are required for the IM/IT Department at Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL) located in Groton, Connecticut. The Navy intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract under FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. The justification for sole sourcing is based on Mandex, Inc. being the original installer of the security system equipment and the only qualified vendor capable of servicing it due to patent, copyright, and proprietary data limitations. The contract falls under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services and PSC code J063 for maintenance and repair of alarm, signal, and security detection systems.
The purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the Navy's intent to proceed with a non-competitive award while providing an opportunity for potential challenges to the sole source determination. Any contractor wishing to challenge this sole source action must submit written challenges to jessica.a.thompson58.civ@us.navy.mil by August 4, 2025. Challenges must include sufficient information demonstrating that an equivalent service exists which could meet the government's requirements as specified. The contract will cover comprehensive support services including troubleshooting, repair, replacement of control boards, servers, card readers, door groups, and backup battery systems, with on-site support required during normal business hours. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement based on any responses received to this notice.
