About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is procuring hydrophone crates through a sole source solicitation (N00164-25-Q-0766) initially targeting Express Packing, Inc. of Indianapolis, Indiana. The procurement falls under NAICS code 321920 (Wood Container and Pallet Manufacturing) and PSC 8115 (Boxes, Cartons, and Crates), with the government citing the requirement to source materials from previously tested and approved vendors as justification for the sole source approach. Contractors must be properly registered in both the System for Award Management (SAM) and Joint Certification Program (JCP) to receive controlled attachments and participate in the procurement. While intended as a sole source procurement under FAR 13.106-1, the government indicates that all responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration. The original solicitation had a quote submission deadline of August 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, but the procurement has since been cancelled due to capabilities interest from a potential source.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and was originally structured as a firm fixed-price contract for Express Packing, Inc. as the intended sole source vendor. The requirement encompasses a total quantity of 107 hydrophone crates distributed across five line items, all involving Part Number 6544995, Revision D, which includes both first article testing and subsequent production runs. Delivery was scheduled to occur between October 3, 2025, and October 31, 2025, with the place of performance being NSWC Crane in Indiana. The solicitation was issued under FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures, indicating the contract value likely falls below the simplified acquisition threshold. However, the government's decision to cancel the original posting suggests that alternative sources demonstrated capability to compete for this requirement, potentially leading to a competitive procurement process.
