Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Oklahoma State University

The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific) intends to sole source a firm-fixed price purchase order to Oklahoma State University for electrical engineering support, specifically focused on circuit design and simulation tasks. This procurement will be conducted under simplified acquisition procedures outlined in FAR Part 13, with authority granted under 10 U.S.C. 2394 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for award to the only responsible source that can satisfy agency requirements. The government has determined that no other suppliers or services will meet their specific needs, effectively justifying the sole source approach. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on May 1, 2025, with a response deadline of May 7, 2025. The contract falls under NAICS Code 541330 for Engineering Services, which has a size standard of $25.5 million.

No specific set-aside designations are applied to this procurement, and the total award value is not explicitly stated in the notice. The contract will be awarded directly to Oklahoma State University without a competitive bidding process, indicating a unique capability or existing relationship with the university. The point of contact for this notice is Jason Adame-Quenell, who can be reached at jason.adame-quenell.civ@us.navy.mil for any potential inquiries. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the opportunity based on responses to this notice. The procurement is being managed by the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command, a defense agency seeking specialized electrical engineering support for circuit design and simulation projects.
