Sieve Station for Additive Manufacturing

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a fixed price contract, on a sole-source basis to Russell Finex Inc., CAGE: 1WK52 (USA), for the procurement of a sieve station at NAWCAD Lakehurst. Extensive market research was conducted to identify potential suppliers of these hardware/software modernization items.

The findings confirmed that Russell Finex Inc. is the only vendor capable of meeting the government's requirements, as they are the only company that can meet the government's needs based on compatibility with the existing lab equipment. Trying to purchase from another vendor would result in unnecessary cost to the Government. NAWCADLKE intends to procure these items under the authority of 10 USC 3204(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1. No solicitation package is available for this procurement.

However, all responses received within fifteen (15) days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Information received as a result of the notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation will be available for this procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for an award of a contract.
