N40 Neutron Irradiator

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a Model N40 Neutron Irradiator. The NAICS code is 334517 and the Product/Service Code is P999. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Hopewell Designs, Inc. (HDI). The proposed action is for an N40 Neutron irradiator and associated technical data, 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: the required model irradiator is exclusively produced by HDI. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 5/31/24. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.

However, all responses received by 5/31/24 at 12:00 PM EST will be considered by the Government. Any questions must be received via e-mail by 5/28/24 at 2:00 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. Inquiries should be directed to Steven Besanko at steven.besanko@navy.mil.
