This Navy procurement covers manufacture of a Reducing Station Assembly for a critical shipboard system, designated as Level I/Scope of Certification (SOC) special emphasis material. The item must be produced per Carleton Technologies drawings and satisfy extensive requirements for material certifications, testing, oxygen cleaning, welding, quality system (ISO-9001), configuration control, and a one-year warranty. Offerors must be the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or provide an authorization letter, and the resulting contract will be DO-rated for national defense under DPAS. The requirement is issued under emergency acquisition flexibilities and will be awarded bilaterally.

This is a sole-source procurement for one unit of an unspecified part. The item must be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME. The government lacks the data or rights to repair the part from other sources, and reverse engineering is considered uneconomical. Interested parties may obtain applicable specifications from the DODSSP. The government intends to negotiate with only one source, but will consider capability statements from responsible parties.
