AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane is soliciting 12 each of 48-inch and 12 each of 72-inch Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Workstations, under sole source authority to SteelSentry Inc. of Gaithersburg, Maryland, with Cage Code 4PJE1, for delivery within eight to twelve weeks following contract award. The procurement is designated as a Firm Fixed Price Request for Quotes under FAR 12.201-1 and is being conducted without competition because the SteelSentry workstations are uniquely engineered to meet the precise dimensional, functional, and safety standards required for the SPY-6 Depot Activation and the repair of Line Replaceable Units. These workstations feature proprietary specifications including 1.125-inch wood cores, 3M-certified ESD laminate surfaces, total lock casters, adjustable melamine shelving, integrated 3-inch, 6-inch, and 12-inch drawers, customized ESD bin assemblies, full cable management systems, 15-amp power strips, and LED overhead lighting—all of which are integral to maintaining compliance with existing lab workflows, safety certifications, and equipment interoperability. Introducing an alternative vendor’s product would require costly and time-consuming re-engineering of the facility, re-certification of ESD safety protocols, and potential replacement of other legacy systems, resulting in an estimated 6- to 8-month delay and $125,000–$150,000 in unrecoverable costs. The workstations must be delivered to NSWC Crane’s Supply Operations, Building 41 Receiving, at 300 Highway 361, Crane, Indiana, under F.O.B. Destination terms, with all items required to be uniquely identified under MIL-STD-130 with machine-readable markings verified using authorized automatic identification technology, and shipped in compliance with MIL-STD-129. The contract includes mandatory clauses related to System for Award Management (SAM) maintenance, prohibition of inverted domestic corporations, safeguarding covered defense information, restrictions on procurement from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and the Maduro regime, and electronic submission of payment requests via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). Payment must be processed through WAWF using the Invoice and Receiving Report (Combo) Destination/Destination format, with confirmation sent via email to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative. All offers must be submitted

Full Description
N0016426Q0204 – SOLE SOURCE – ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE WORKSTATIONS – FSG 6640 – NAICS 337127
ISSUE DATE 01-JUL-2026 – CLOSING DATE 20-JUL-2026 – 11:00 PM Eastern Time
ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for a quantity of 12 48-inch Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Workstations Part Number FR-15-16-W-843030 and a quantity of 12 72-inch Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Workstations Part Number FR-15-16-W-843030 in accordance with specific options and specifications with a required delivery of eight to twelve weeks.
SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source only STEELSENTRY INC. of Gaithersburg Maryland, Cage Code 4PJE1, under the authority of FAR 12.201-1 for Commercial supplies using Simplified Procedures. This is being solicited on a sole source only basis because the procurement of SteelSentry Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Workstations is essential to support the critical SPY-6 Depot Activation. These specific workstations are strictly required for Depot-level repair efforts of SPY-6 Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) and must be sole-sourced to ensure absolute compatibility, safety, and standardization with the existing lab equipment footprint. The SPY-6 Depot operates under stringent ESD safety protocols, and the facility's current layout, workflow, and safety certifications are already baselined around the proprietary dimensions and modular configurations of the SteelSentry platform. Each workstation requires a highly specific, fully integrated ESD compliance package featuring 1.125-inch wood cores, single-sided uprights with adjustable melamine shelving, total lock casters, and heavy-duty storage components including integrated 3-inch, 6-inch, and 12-inch drawers alongside customized ESD bin assemblies. To meet operational requirements, the units must also include complete cable management systems, high-capacity 15-amp power strips, and LED overhead lighting.
Introducing a different manufacturer's workstations would fracture lab standardization and introduce unacceptable risks to the LRU repair process. A mixed-vendor environment would require the Government to re-engineer the lab floor plan, re-certify the integrated ESD compliance of the entire workspace, and potentially alter established maintenance procedures. It is estimated that attempting to integrate a different vendor's equipment would cause an unacceptable Depot Activation delay of 6 to 8 months and result in a duplicated, unrecoverable cost to the Government of approximately $125,000 to $150,000. This estimated cost accounts for the required engineering redesign, environmental safety re-certifications, and the potential forced replacement of existing legacy lab equipment to maintain mandatory operational uniformity. Therefore, SteelSentry is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement without causing substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the DoW mission.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation 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.
