Intent to sole source Composite Laminated Beams

The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division located in Bethesda, MD, issued a special notice for the intent to sole source Composite Laminated Beams under solicitation number CD-65-0031. This notice was posted on June 11, 2026, and indicates that the procurement will be awarded directly to a single source without competitive bidding. The decision to sole source is supported by a justification document outlining the necessary criteria and rationale, along with minimum specifications that detail the performance and design requirements for the laminated beams. The contract is managed by David Crouch, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries related to the procurement. While no specific NAICS code or set-aside type is indicated, the sole source approach reflects the specialized nature of the product and the limited availability of suppliers capable of meeting the Department of Defense's technical and operational needs. This procurement aims to secure materials essential to the agency's mission objectives, ensuring compliance with specified standards and delivering optimal performance for defense applications.
