The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a Shaft Taper Analysis Verification Evaluation (STAVE) scanner system. The compliant service is available solely from Direct Dimensions (DD), Inc., as the required timeframe can only be sold through DD. The NAICS code is 334516 and the business size is 1,000 employees. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to DD, Inc. The proposed action is for STAVE scanners, 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: Direct Dimensions, Inc. is the only source of the required material, with no compatible service on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to ASE using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:59AM 6 September 2024. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 11:59AM on 09/06/2024 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.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil.
