44--naval nuclear propulsion components

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to award a sole-source contract to Bechtel Corporation, specifically Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc., for the procurement of naval nuclear propulsion components. The contract supports the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, although no specific completion date or further details about the contract scope are provided. This notice serves only as an informational announcement, and solicitation documents are not currently available. The Government intends to negotiate directly with Bechtel under the authority of FAR 6.302, meaning competitive bidding is not planned. However, interested parties are invited to express their interest and capability to fulfill the requirement or submit proposals within a specified timeframe—45 days from the publication date, or 30 days if an award is made under an existing basic ordering agreement. Responses may influence the Government’s decision on whether to pursue a competitive procurement, though the final determination rests solely with the Government. Subcontracting opportunities may exist, and firms interested in such opportunities are encouraged to contact Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc. directly.
