About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a pressure sensitive paint (PSP) measurement system. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a limited source basis to Innovative Scientific Solutions, Inc. (ISSI), as ISSI is the only source for the required items. NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to ISSI using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may submit capabilities statements by 11:59 AM on 04/15/2023, but this is not a request for competitive proposals. The Government will determine if competition is warranted based on the responses received.

The estimated value of the proposed purchase order is under the simplified acquisition threshold of $141,107.55. The PSP system is required to support wind tunnel testing for the U.S. Coast Guard, NSWCCD's Unmanned Aerial Systems Lab, and other programs. The required delivery date is April 30, 2024.

Notice text

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a pressur sensitive paint (PSP) measurement system.  The compliant material is available solely from Innovative Scientific Solutions, Inc. (ISSI), as the required support can only be purchased through ISSI.  The NAICS code is 541715 and the business size is 1000 employees.
