About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command issued a Special Notice on December 15, 2025, regarding a sole-source contract award for Non-Personal Professional Support Services (PSS) to support the Program Executive Office, Ships (PEO Ships), Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG(X)) Program Office (PMS 460). The contract, identified as N0016426CB001, is classified under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC R425 (Support-Professional: Engineering/Technical). Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane intends to award this contract to Herren Associates, Inc., located in Washington, DC, on a sole-source basis without issuing a formal competitive solicitation.
The purpose of this engagement is to provide comprehensive professional support services including expertise in Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), Program Support and Management, Acquisition and Contract Management, Business and Financial Management, and Integrated Performance Analysis to assist PMS 460 in accomplishing its mission objectives. The contract structure comprises a one-year base period of performance with a 90-day option period and will be awarded as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract. The Government justified the sole-source restriction under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B) based on the unacceptable risk of lapsed support services, which would negatively impact mission readiness and incur long-term costs to taxpayers. Although this is not a competitive solicitation and no formal request for proposals will be issued, interested entities may express their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by the January 2, 2026 deadline. Inquiries should be directed to Logan (Brock) Kelley at 812-381-7772 or logan.b.kelley.civ@us.navy.mil.
