USNA Gymnastics Pit Filler Materials

The Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk is seeking to procure gymnastics pit filler materials for the United States Naval Academy (USNA) at Macdonough Hall through a sole source contract with Deary's Gymnastics Supply. The procurement encompasses seven specific line items including bungee pit hardware (750 S-hooks and 10 clamps), elastic shock cord, bungee bed, pit wall foam, pit edge pads, 2,225 blue foam cubes measuring 8"x8"x8", and covered foam rectangles for delivery and installation by September 15, 2025. The government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract under the authority of FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), with the sole source justification based on compatibility requirements since Deary's Gymnastics Supply previously provided gymnastics mats and designed the steel angle bungee system for the new pit. The solicitation was posted on September 12, 2025, with the same date listed as the due date, though the attached documents indicate quotations were originally due by 4:00 PM EST on August 12, 2025.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and identifies Deary's Gymnastics Supply as both the intended sole source contractor and the company that previously worked on related gymnastics equipment for the facility. The total estimated contract value has been redacted from the available documentation, though the procurement falls under NAICS code 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The work will be performed at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, specifically at MacDonough Hall where the gymnastics pit is located. The procurement includes both Government-Furnished-Government-Installed and Contractor-Furnished-Contractor-Installed components, requiring all materials to be compatible with the existing gymnastics pit infrastructure that was previously designed and installed by the same contractor.
