About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is seeking a sole source contract for the repair and rebuild of ten JFD Shadow Excursion Underwater Breathing Apparatus (UBA) units. The procurement will be awarded exclusively to Chase Defense Partners, the only authorized vendor and distributor for these specialized diving equipment components in the United States. Vendors must submit quotes by April 22, 2025, to alan.t.bounds.civ@us.navy.mil, including a capabilities statement, proof of past performance, and CAGE code. The government will evaluate quotes based on best value, considering price, delivery, quality, and past performance. Quotes must be complete, submitted on time, and vendors must be capable of invoicing through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) and confirm receipt of their submission within two business days.
The solicitation has no specific set-aside designation and is being funded with FY25 Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funds. The total estimated contract value exceeds $25,000 and will cover not only the UBA overhaul and materials but also certified service training for up to 10 students. The place of performance is located in Panama City Beach, Florida (32407). JFD, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is the critical source of proprietary data and certification for these repairs, and the sole source justification emphasizes that alternative vendors could potentially compromise diver safety. The contract will involve repairing and rebuilding the UBAs to ensure compatibility and reliability, with the government determining that using the OEM-authorized vendor represents the most administratively efficient and technically sound approach.
Notice text
Sole Source notice for UBA overhaul and training
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) currently has a need to repair/rebuild ten (10) JFD Shadow Excursion Underwater Breathing Apparatus’ (UBA). JFD is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Shadow Excursion Underwater Breathing Apparatus (UBA) and Chase Defense Partners is the only authorized vendor who can perform the required services and the only authorized distributor for the material items listed in the United States. The service and components required to repair and rebuild the UBA’s shall be from the OEM to ensure compatibility and OEM reliability. If another vendor were to be selected, they would not have access to JFD proprietary data, would not have factory certification for repair/overhaul, and there would be risk that the unauthorized vendor could perform inadequate or improper overhaul services which could result in diver death. As such, the government does not expect significant savings through competition, and it is more advantageous to the Government to award on a sole source basis to the Chase Defense Partners
All quotes submitted in response to this announcement shall be reviewed if submitted by the close date. RFQ must include supporting documents: Capabilities Statement, Proof of past performance for similar work, and cage code.
