Rockwell BOA order under N6449824G4001, LPD HHD PLC Controller

The Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division intends to procure a LPD HHD PLC Controller through a Basic Ordering Agreement Order under existing BOA N6449824G4001. This is a follow-on procurement where the Navy plans to negotiate and award the order exclusively to Rockwell Automation Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio, as they are deemed the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the Navy's requirements under 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(I). The procurement falls under FAR 6.302 authority for sole source acquisitions, though the government will consider responses from other interested parties to determine whether competitive procurement is warranted. Interested parties must submit their capabilities and interest in writing via email to Lauren Gonzalez at lauren.m.gonzalez20.civ@us.navy.mil by 4:30 PM on July 1, 2025. The government reserves full discretion in determining whether to proceed competitively based on received responses.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is currently structured as a sole source award to incumbent contractor Rockwell Automation Inc. The government intends to make the award in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, though no specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive proposals, but rather an intent to proceed with sole source procurement. The timeline is compressed with only one week provided for interested parties to respond, from the June 24, 2025 posting date to the July 1, 2025 deadline. Any determination to maintain the sole source approach or move to competitive procurement will be made entirely at the government's discretion after reviewing submitted information.
