About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking maintenance services for FEI HELIOS PFIB equipment through a sole source procurement under solicitation N00164-25-Q-0650. The contract covers maintenance of specific equipment including Helios 5 Laser PFIB (P/N 1242810), MultiChem Gas Delivery, and EasyLift EX systems. The government intends to award this contract to FEI Company of Hillsboro, Oregon, as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to proprietary technical documents and specifications necessary for proper maintenance. The solicitation operates under FAR 13.106-1 authority and requires contractors to be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). All proposals must be submitted electronically to Jaclyn.m.bailey5.civ@us.navy.mil by June 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with the solicitation having been posted on June 16, 2025.

While this is structured as a sole source procurement with no set-aside designation, the attached government file indicates the contract is actually set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) participation under NAICS code 811210. FEI Company appears to be the incumbent and intended sole source contractor based on their status as the original equipment manufacturer. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price arrangement with a performance period running from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026. Although the government has stated its intention to sole source to FEI Company, responsible sources may still submit capability statements for consideration, though the government retains full discretion over whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The place of performance is not explicitly specified in the available documentation.
