About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center San Diego has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Dutch Valley Supply Co. of Lawrenceville, Georgia. This notification concerns the procurement of aircraft insulation blankets specifically designed for Assault Craft Unit Five (ACU-5) Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vehicles. The contract will be awarded under FAR 13.106(1) authority, which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The insulation blankets are critical components for the ETF40B main propulsion engines, protecting adjacent structural and electronic components from exhaust gas temperatures reaching 1,250 degrees Fahrenheit. The LCAC vehicles cannot operate safely without these specialized insulation blankets in place.
The primary objective of this procurement is to obtain 20 exhaust collector insulation blankets that meet strict Navy technical specifications outlined in NAVSEA 5750011F for landing craft air cushion systems. Dutch Valley Supply Co. was selected as the sole source due to their proprietary designs, materials, and fabrication capabilities that are exclusively licensed and specifically engineered for LCAC exhaust systems. Interested parties have until August 26, 2025, to submit capability statements, though this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals. Any capability statements must be limited to six pages using minimum 10-point font and must demonstrate management capability, technical expertise, cost information, and authorization to work on Ivers systems. The government anticipates awarding this firm-fixed-price contract on or before August 27, 2025, with required delivery by November 28, 2025.
