About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice announcing Portsmouth Naval Shipyard's intent to sole source a training contract to Lavender International. The notice specifically pertains to providing on-site training for Level II Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and Level II Time-of-Flight-Diffraction (ToFD) courses. Lavender International has been identified as the sole provider due to being the only Level III Test Examiner with an approved training curriculum utilized throughout the corporation. The Special Notice was posted on May 27, 2025, with a response deadline of June 3, 2025. This is a procedural notification and not a formal request for quotes or proposals.
The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to provide specialized non-destructive testing training for naval shipyard inspectors, specifically designed to meet NAVSEA technical requirements. The training will be conducted over four weeks, with two weeks dedicated to PAUT and two weeks to ToFD, accommodating up to 12 inspectors. Contractors should note that any quotes submitted in response to this special notice will not be reviewed or considered for award. The training will utilize Olympus Omniscan X3 equipment and aims to certify personnel in accordance with ASNT SNT-TC-1A standards. The specific delivery dates are scheduled for July 7-19, 2025 (PAUT) and July 21-August 1, 2025 (ToFD). The justification for sole sourcing emphasizes that alternative training providers would cause unnecessary delays, administrative burdens, and potentially compromise training quality and consistency.
