About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command seeks polymer sealant materials (NGD-9 A-side and B-side compounds) for delivery by September 30, 2026, with a capabilities statement deadline of August 14 at noon and a question deadline of August 12 at noon. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) to Collins Aerospace, the exclusive supplier of the NGD-9 formulation, which is critical to Navy RDT&E projects including elastomer variant development for Navy SSNX programs.
The Government intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The solicitation (N0016726Q1147) invites capabilities statements from interested parties; however, the notice explicitly states this is not a competitive request and that the Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement based on responses received.
Place of performance is NSWC Carderock, Building 143, Bethesda, Maryland. The requirement specifies 1,800 pounds of NGD-9 Side A (isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymer) in four 55-gallon drums and 882 pounds of NGD-9 Side B (castable polyurethane) in two 55-gallon drums, meeting NAVSEA Drawing 690 6726599, Rev. A specifications. Materials must be shipped with climate control maintained between 75–90 degrees Fahrenheit and arrive Monday through Friday between 0800 and 1430 hours. Delivery includes Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) testing and F.o.b. Destination terms. Contractors must hold either a NCAC or DBIDS card and provide proof of U.S. citizenship. Vehicles exceeding 6 tons GVW require advance approval from the Washington Aqueduct due to MacArthur Boulevard restrictions. Evaluation criteria are technical acceptability (pass/fail), past performance, and price, with award to the lowest-priced technically acceptable vendor. The NAICS code is 326299 (All Other Rubber Product Manufacturing); PSC is 8030 (Preservative and Sealing Compounds).
Notice text
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for polymer sealant. The compliant material is available solely from Goodrich Corporation, as the required compound can only be purchased through Goodrich. The NAICS code is 326299 and the business size is 650 employees.
The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Goodrich Corporation. The proposed action is for polymer drums, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Goodrich is the only source of the required support, with no compatible material on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Goodrich Corporation using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00 PM Noon 14 August 2026. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00 PM on 08/14/2026 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
