About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), a Naval Sea Systems Command activity, is soliciting a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Innovative Professional Solutions, Inc. for five SDV MK11 tow bar assemblies (part number 8600081-001) and freight, with a due date of November 6, 2026. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," and the government states full and open competition is unsuitable because Innovative Professional Solutions, Inc. is the OEM and the only approved source under drawing 8600081 R2.
The sole source justification states that an alternate brand would require approximately six months or more of compatibility and approval work for the SDV MK11 system, creating unacceptable schedule risk and cost. The total value exceeds micro-purchase level but not the $350,000.00 simplified acquisition threshold. Delivery is required no later than 15 weeks after award.
Place of performance is Panama City, Florida. Deliveries are accepted Monday through Friday, 0900 to 1430 local time, at 110 Vernon Avenue, Receiving Building 100, Panama City, FL 32407-7001, with no weekend or holiday deliveries. The procurement uses FAR Part 12 commercial item terms with FOB Destination delivery, and the clauses package includes DFARS requirements covering cybersecurity, telecommunications equipment restrictions, export controls, and Buy American. The clauses package states award is best value considering price, delivery, quality, and past performance, with SPRS evaluations incorporated, while the justification states the Contracting Officer determined sole-source award represents best value.
The Procuring Contracting Officer retains all contract administration functions, and no Administrative Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer's Representative is appointed. The Contract Specialist is Jamell Kilgore (jamell.l.kilgore.civ@us.navy.mil). The notice is coded NAICS 336611, Ship Building and Repairing, and PSC 3940, Blocks, Tackle, Rigging, and Slings.
Notice text
This procurement is a Sole Source to Innovative Professional Solutions Inc for Tow Bar Assemblies.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division, (NSWC PCD), Panama City, FL intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order for Innovative Professional Solutions, Inc. brand products.
Procurement is for SDV MK11 Tow Bar Assemblies, as follows:
Line No. Description Part Number Quantity
1 ASSY; TOW BAR; DRAWING 8600081 R2 8600081-001 5 EA
2 FREIGHT N/A 1 EA
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement to procure SDV MK11 Tow Bar Assemblies. This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reason(s): Innovative Professional Solutions Inc. is the OEM and the only approved source of supply for the items listed in Section 3 per the approved engineering drawing. The purchase of a different brand of tow bar assembly would necessitate approximately 6 months or more of work to ensure compatibility of the alternate tow bar assembly with the SDV MK11 system. Additionally, further work would be required to approve it for use with the SDV MK11 system. The additional time and expense generated by these efforts would result in unacceptable risk to the project timeline and additional cost to the Government.
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 Innovative Professional Solutions Inc. for the items listed above. As such, Innovative Professional Solutions, Inc. is the only source capable of meeting this requirement.
