The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a Biometrics testing services. The compliant product is available solely from University of Virginia, as the required materials are only available through UVA. The NAICS code is 541330 and the business size is $16.5 million. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to UVA. The proposed action is for engineering services, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: UVA is the only source of the required service, with no compatible service on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to University of Virginia using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:59AM 27 January 2022. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 11:59AM on 01/27/2022 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.bonaiuto@navy.mil and Barbaraann Witz and barbaraann.witz@navy.mil.
