About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice of Intent to sole source a firm fixed price contract to Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. in Hollister, California. The contract pertains to Ordnance Assessment (OA) testing for Vertical Launch System (VLS) and Capsule Launching System (CLS) Separation Nuts. The notice is being published under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106(b), which allows solicitation from a single source when a vendor is the only known source capable of meeting government requirements. The contract falls under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services, with an FSC code of H214. The government is pursuing this noncompetitive procurement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (C) (1).
Interested contractors have until June 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST to submit responses demonstrating their capability to compete for this contract opportunity. To be considered, vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit clear, concise documentation via email to Tammy Kershner. The purpose of the contract is to conduct comprehensive testing on 26 total separation nut units, including visual and radiographic inspections and functional testing across a temperature range of -65F to 160F. Contractors wishing to challenge the sole source determination must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. However, the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement. The contract will involve testing fleet-returned separation nut assemblies to evaluate ordnance safety, performance, and reliability, with deliverables including detailed test procedures and a comprehensive technical report.
