About this opportunity
The Norfolk Naval Shipyard is procuring a Struers CitoPress-30 Hot Mount Press, including installation and training services, through the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The equipment is designed to automate metallographic sample preparation by mounting two different samples simultaneously, which will reduce hand polishing time and improve efficiency in subsequent auto polishing processes. This procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition under FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), indicating the government intends to negotiate with only one source, specifically Struers. The solicitation is classified under NAICS code 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and PSC code N034 for Installation of Equipment-Metalworking Machinery. The anticipated solicitation release date is August 8, 2025, with quotes due approximately August 12, 2025, resulting in a firm fixed-price contract.
Despite the initial description indicating no set-aside, the SF 1449 document reveals this procurement is actually set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) enterprises. No current contractors or incumbents are specifically identified in the solicitation materials, though the sole source nature suggests Struers is the intended provider. The contract includes the CitoPress-30 machine along with multiple accessories such as mounting units, database options, EasyDoser, and cooling systems, with no specific award value disclosed in the available documentation. Delivery is required before the end of the fiscal year, with installation and training services to be completed within two weeks of equipment receipt. The work will be performed at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, specifically in Building 234, Room 231, with a contract period of performance running from July 31, 2025, to July 30, 2026.
