About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice regarding the intended sole source procurement of a valve assembly for US Navy Ship DDG 124. The Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Bath, Maine (SSBA) plans to award this contract directly to Indal Technologies Inc, a Canadian company located in Ontario, without competition. This procurement will utilize FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and is justified under the authority that allows contracting officers to solicit from a single source when circumstances deem only one source reasonably available. The acquisition involves a Rast Valve Assembly that is critical for the AEGIS Test Team Program and supporting maritime testing events.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source acquisition while providing an opportunity for other interested parties to identify their capabilities or interest in the requirement. Interested contractors may submit product information and express their interest via email to the designated contracting officer by September 21, 2025, though this notice explicitly states it is not a request for quotation and no formal solicitation will be issued. The sole source justification is based on Indal/Curtis Wright being the exclusive manufacturer and repairer of this specialized valve assembly, which has a 330-day lead time and is urgently needed to prevent delays in scheduled ship testing operations. The valve assembly is essential for supporting various maritime testing events including ALO, Trials, and CMA, with the government maintaining full discretion over whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on any responses received.

This Notice of Intent is not a request for quotation. No solicitation or RFQ will be forthcoming.
