## Description

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard intends to award a sole source Firm-Fixed Price contract with three (3) option years to VRC Metal Systems LLC (Cage Code 71U36) of Box Elder, South Dakota. Under the authority of USC 2304(c) (1) pursuant to FAR 6.202-1(a) (2), the product or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or only from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency. A determination not to compete this proposed contract is based on market research and is solely within the discretion of the government. As evidenced in the sole source justification provided by the requiring activity there is only one contractor that has the specific qualifications that meet the peculiar requirements of this contract. The qualifications for this position are unique and are shown in the attached Sole Source Justification for the VRC Machine Cold Spray systems. VRC is the only provider of proprietary systems and able to perform the maintenance and calibration.

Even though the intent is for a sole source contract, all responsible sources may submit a quotation which will be considered by the

agency. Quotations are not being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Interested persons may identify their

interest and capability by responding to this requirement via email to: Courtney Edwards Courtney.j.edwards5.civ@us.navy.mil
