About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) posted a Justification and Approval notice on March 17, 2026, for an exception to full and open competition regarding the acquisition of submarine escape immersion equipment spares under contract N0010426CZA04, which was awarded on February 27, 2026. The justification for limiting competition to a sole source is based on the unique design capability and specialized engineering requirements necessary for the submarine escape immersion equipment (NSN 3H 4220 015695520), which can only be met by approved sources with specific manufacturing and repair knowledge certified by the design control activity. NAVSUP conducted comprehensive market research across multiple databases including the IIMP, EB Single Parts Master, TDP Tool, and COTS-related systems but determined that no responsive alternate sources existed to fulfill the requirement, necessitating procurement from the existing qualified vendor. The awarded vendor information and contract value have not been disclosed in the posted notice. The contracting activity indicated that it will continue to encourage vendors with appropriate expertise to submit manufacturing source approval packages to develop competitive alternatives for future requirements, which will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
