Sole Source Urgency Notice

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Office, has published a sole source urgency notice for the procurement of a Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Training Kit. The agency intends to award a firm fixed price contract to Techline Technologies, Inc. under FAR 6.302-1, citing urgent acquisition requirements. This notice serves as formal notification of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement action. The procurement includes specialized training equipment comprising a Bleeding Control Training Kit, IED Casualty Simulation Kit, and TEOC Station Package for Navy and Search and Rescue teams. The contract value falls under the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000 and is classified under NAICS code 339999 for miscellaneous manufacturing.

The primary objective behind this notice is to procure critical training equipment needed to enhance emergency response capabilities and mission interoperability for Navy personnel. The government has established a delivery deadline of October 20, 2025, with challenges to the sole source determination due by September 18, 2025. Any contractor wishing to challenge this sole source award must submit written documentation to Charles.d.bell14.civ@us.navy.mil demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent services that meet the government's stated requirements. The procurement is justified based on compressed training schedules, potential equipment shortages that could compromise personnel safety, and the determination that Techline Technologies is the only source capable of providing the complete integrated training solution. The government emphasizes that delays in procurement could significantly impact training readiness, particularly for Search and Rescue operations, making this acquisition time-critical for operational preparedness.
