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

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, is set to procure refurbishment services for two Cell Area components, Hexagon Power Supplies, and Distilled Water Pumps of Model 6L16 Electrolytic Oxygen Generators utilized on SSN-688 Class Submarines. This order will be placed under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement with Treadwell Corporation, located in Thomaston, Connecticut, on a sole source basis. The decision to limit solicitation to this single source is based on the fact that only Treadwell Corporation can meet the specific technical and operational requirements, as authorized under federal acquisition regulations and U.S. Code provisions. This procurement action complies with the authority allowing for single-source contracts when no other supplier or service provider can fulfill the agency’s needs. The contract pertains specifically to the overhaul of these critical submarine components to ensure their proper function and longevity. The issuing office is the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda, Maryland, operating under the Department of Defense. The solicitation was issued as a presolicitation notice in early March 2005, with no set-aside designation or North American Industry Classification System code specified.
