About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command has issued a sole source justification notice for the procurement of a Tsubaki 35SSR100 chain from distributors of U.S. Tsubaki Industrial, LLC. The chain will be used on submarines to refresh a work platform and complete equipment installations and movements with a roller chain for gearing and lifting operations on a winch/lift cart system. The sole source justification is based on brand name requirements and exclusive licensing agreements, with the contracting officer determining that using an alternative product would require a significant redesign effort involving substantial time and cost that could delay contract parts procurement. The procurement falls under the simplified acquisition threshold and requires delivery by November 4, 2025, with the contract award scheduled for September 30, 2025. While the specific vendor and contract value have not been disclosed in the public documentation, the justification was digitally approved by the Contracting Officer on July 22, 2025, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines for limited competition.
