About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command has published a Special Notice regarding a sole source procurement for a phone system aboard the USNS HENRY J. KAISER (T-AO 187). The government intends to award this contract exclusively to Hose-McCann Communications, the Original Equipment Manufacturer and sole supplier of the Sound Powered Phone System components for this vessel. This Special Notice was posted on February 12, 2026, with a response deadline of February 19, 2026. The procurement falls under NAICS 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing) and PSC 2090 (Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment). No small business set-aside applies to this opportunity, as the acquisition qualifies for sole source justification.
The purpose of this procurement is to obtain OEM repair parts (part number CASREP 25-023) necessary for emergency repairs to the ship's critical communication system. The contracting officer determined that only Hose-McCann Communications is reasonably available to supply these parts due to exclusive licensing agreements, standardization requirements mandated across the T-AO 187 Class vessel fleet, the need for direct replacement compatibility, and the mission-critical nature of the equipment. This is a simplified acquisition threshold procurement that does not exceed federal spending limitations. While this is a sole source award opportunity, interested parties should note the accelerated timeline, with proposals due by February 19, 2026. The procurement is not open to competitive bidding; however, the Special Notice provides transparency regarding the government's procurement intent and justification for the noncompetitive award.
Notice text
The Government intends to make a sole source award to Hose-McCann Communications as they are the OEM and manufacturer of parts for the Sound Powered Phone System aboard the USNS HENRY J. KAISER (T-AO 187) and sells directly to the Government.
