About this opportunity
Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) issued a notice of intent to sole-source resurfacing services for Alleganey Ballistics Laboratory (ABL) Friction Wheels and Plates to Safety Management Services, Inc., with interested parties able to identify capability through July 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. EST. NSWC IHD intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order on a non-competitive basis to SMS, the exclusive original equipment manufacturer and global licensee for the ABL Friction Test Machine. SMS holds exclusive intellectual property rights originally developed by Hercules/ATK at the Allegany Ballistics Laboratory and is the only authorized source capable of refurbishing these friction wheels and plates to original manufacturer specifications. The sole-source justification rests on FAR 12.102(a), citing that only one source is available to meet government requirements. Parties may submit evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government; submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The government retains discretion to override the sole-source determination. The purchase order falls under NAICS 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and PSC J095 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Metal Bars, Sheets, and Shapes).

Safety Management Services, Inc. (SMS) is the exclusive Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and global licensee for the ABL Friction Test Machine.
