About this opportunity
NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk issued a notice of intent on August 5, 2026 to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Flow International Corporation for six two-hundred-volt actuator rotary harmonic drives under FAR 6.302-1; challenges must be received in writing by August 6, 2026 at robert.s.harrell15.civ@us.navy.mil. The drives are required as direct replacement parts for repairs to a water jet system, with delivery required within 30 days after receipt of order. Flow International Corporation is the sole original manufacturer capable of producing the requested components; proprietary data and patent limitations restrict competition exclusively to the OEM. The parts must be sourced directly from Flow International to ensure compatibility with existing Flow Jet equipment and proper fit within the higher assembly. The contract value falls within the $1 million to $10 million simplified procedures threshold. Contracting Officer Joseph Frechette of NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department (Fleet Directorate) executed the sole source justification on August 3, 2026. Challenges must include information demonstrating that an equivalent service or supply exists to meet the Government's needs; the Government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the requirement.
