N00164-23-Q-0250 – SOLE SOURCE – EVALUATION AND REPAIR – FSG J059 – NAICS 333310

ISSUE DATE 14-JUL-2023 – CLOSING DATE 25-JUL-2023 – 5:00 PM Eastern Time

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for evaluation and repairs of ECOTI and ECOSI systems.

SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source only, Optics 1, Inc., of Bedford, New Hampshire, Cage 1YWM6, , under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This is being solicited on a sole source basis because acquisition of the evaluation and repair services for the ECOTI and ECOSI systems from other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer is impractical due to lack of technical documentation such as drawings and assembly instructions and the tooling required.  Additional, acquisition from an alternate vendor would require extensive qualification testing where costs could not be recovered due to low quantity of items being acquired.  All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation 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.

Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://sam.gov.

This solicitation is being issued pursuant to the procedures at FAR Part 13.  Synopsis exception FAR 5.202(a)(13) applies and Solicitation Number N00164-23-Q-0250  is hereby issued as an attachment hereto. 

All changes to the requirement that occur prior to the closing date will be posted to Contract Opportunities on https://sam.gov/.  It is the responsibility of interested vendors to monitor https://sam.gov/ for any amendments, which may be issued to this solicitation.
