Issue Date: 30 OCT 2026 – Closing Date: 13 NOV 2026 – Closing Time: 4:00PM EST

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane intends to award a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract with an estimated ceiling of $5M for the new manufacture of multiple serpentine assembly variations for the AN/SPS-48E serpentines.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Loughmiller Tool and Design, Loogootee, IN, CAGE Code 1G8N9. This action is anticipated to be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.103-1(c)(2). The requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis because competition could result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government, which are not anticipated to be recovered through competition, or could cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirement through any other source. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract is based upon market research responses to date and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received in response to this synopsis will be reviewed and considered. 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). Information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements be obtained by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov.

Questions or inquiries should be directed to Jennifer Madison, Code 0212, e-mail jennifer.n.madison.civ@us.navy.mil.  Please reference the above solicitation number when responding to this notice.
