Issue Date: 15 September 2025 - Closing Date: 22 September - 2:00 PM EDT

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division has a requirement to award an $18,000,000 Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) one-time buy type contract, for the production and delivery of MK 155 MOD 0 Shaped Charges and supporting hardware. The current anticipated contract award date is 30 September 2025.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Spectra Technologies, LLC located at 12949 W AR 274 HWY, Camden, AR 71701, under authority of the signed Determination & Findings In Accordance With (IAW) 10 U.S.C. § 4022(f)(2), allowing for the award of a follow-on production contract without the use of competitive procedures when competitive procedures are utilized for selection of the parties for participation in the transaction and the participants in the transaction successfully completed the prototype project provided for in the transaction. NSWC Crane awarded an Other Transaction Agreement, Agreement Number N001642490003, IAW 10 U.S.C. § 4022 to Spectra Technologies, LLC on September 9, 2024.

In result, this follow on production requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis because only the vendor, Spectra Technologies, LLC, has the knowledge and ability to manufacture and deliver the requirements outlined in the awarded prototype. The Government does not possess the knowledge base or expertise to recreate these systems or fully install these systems. Others in industry do not have the skill set or knowledge that was developed by this vendor to create an alternate solution within a timely and costly manner to the Government therefore full and open competition will not be utilized and the procurement will be completed through sole sourcing.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action 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. Solicitations and amendments for this sole source action will not be posted to SAM.gov and are available only from the POC identified below.

Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov.
