J--OVERHAUL OF COMPONENT CELL AREA AND HEXAGON POWER SUPPLY OF 6L16 ELECTROLYTIC OXYGEN GENERATORS

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, intends to award a sole source contract to Treadwell Corporation, located in Thomaston, Connecticut, for the refurbishment of specific components—the Cell Area and Hexagon Power Supply—of two Model 6L16 Electrolytic Oxygen Generators. These generators are used on SSN-688 and SSBN-726 Class Submarines. This procurement will be conducted under an Ordering Agreement, with the Government exercising the sole source procurement authority as only Treadwell Corporation has been deemed a responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s requirements. The justification for this sole source action is supported by FAR 6.302-1 and the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The contract, identified by solicitation number N6554006QDST1, is a presolicitation notice issued by the Department of Defense’s Naval Surface Warfare Center located in Bethesda, Maryland. There is no indication of a set-aside or specific NAICS code associated with this action. The refurbishment work focuses on ensuring the operational reliability and performance of critical oxygen generation systems aboard these submarines, highlighting the importance of selecting a specialized vendor with unique capabilities. The Government has confirmed that no other suppliers or services can meet the technical and logistical demands of this refurbishment.
