The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract to KITCO Fiber Optics Incorporated for specific Optical Loss Test Set models. These units are essential for testing fiber optic installations on Navy ships and submarines. The work will be performed by the awardee, KITCO Fiber Optics Incorporated, located in Norfolk, Virginia. While this is a non-competitive procurement, any firm believing it can fulfill the requirement may submit a capability statement for consideration. All responding firms must be registered in the SAM database.

This is a market research notice from the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division seeking information on potential sources for two specific, commercially available fiber optic test equipment parts. The performance location is not specified. The estimated final request for proposal is anticipated in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, with an estimated award in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2026. The notice strongly indicates a planned sole-source procurement to Kitco Fiber Optics Inc., as the parts are described as the only known technically acceptable option for their application, requiring a form, fit, and function identical replacement. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to submit capability statements to help the government determine if a small business set-aside is possible.
