L--Technical Representative Services

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to award a sole source, level-of-effort contract to Electric Boat Corp. for engineering, design services, and material related to serving as the Planning Yard for reactor plants and propulsion systems of nuclear-powered submarines. This contract will cover specialized technical services essential for maintaining and advancing propulsion plant capabilities in these submarines. While the contract will be awarded without competition under FAR 6.302, the notice invites interested parties to express their interest or capabilities within 45 days, or 30 days if tied to an existing basic ordering agreement. However, this notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals but serves to evaluate whether a competitive procurement might be warranted based on responses received. Subcontracting opportunities will be available directly through Electric Boat, and firms interested in partnering should contact them accordingly. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541330, applicable to engineering services. The government retains sole discretion to proceed without competition and to consider received information solely for determining whether to initiate a competitive process in the future. Solicitation documents are not publicly available, and this announcement is purely informational, aimed at ensuring transparency of the planned sole source acquisition for this critical naval engineering effort.
