Notice of Intent - Sole Source - Accelerometers

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for PCB model 631M29 accelerometers. The NAICS code is 334519 and the Product/Service Code is 6695. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to PCB PIEZOTRONICS, INC. The proposed action is for accelerometers 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 reason: PCB PIEZOTRONICS, INC. is the sole manufacturer for the specified accelerometers. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to PCB PIEZOTRONICS, INC. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 3/4/24. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.

However, all responses received by 3/4/24 at 2:00 PM EST will be considered by the Government. Any questions must be received via e-mail by 2/28/24 at 12:00 PM EST. 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.
