Sole Source for Swank Motion Pictures Subscription.

The Naval Supply Systems Command, Department of the Navy, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Swank Motion Pictures for a subscription service. NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Mechanicsburg office is proceeding under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, which allows for sole source procurement under specific circumstances. The contract falls under NAICS code 512120 for Motion Picture and Video Distribution services. This notice was posted on July 1, 2025, and does not utilize any set-aside programs. The procurement is being handled by the Navy's supply systems command structure.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intention to proceed with a sole source award rather than conduct a competitive procurement process. The notice explicitly states it is not a request for proposals or quotations, but rather serves as advance notification of the planned sole source action. Any contractor wishing to challenge this sole source determination must submit their objections in writing to jason.k.parker4.civ@us.navy.mil for government consideration. Challenges must include sufficient information to demonstrate that an equivalent service exists that could meet the government's stated requirements. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award or transition to a competitive procurement based on any responses received. No specific deadline is provided for submitting challenges to the sole source determination.
