L--Technical Representative Services

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to award a sole source level-of-effort contract to Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, Inc. for engineering, design services, and materials related to acting as the Planning Yard for Standard Navy Valves in the engine rooms of nuclear-powered submarines. This contract is intended for supplies or services to be negotiated directly with Northrop Grumman under the authority of FAR 6.302, without competitive bidding. Although this notice is informational and not a solicitation for competitive proposals, the Government will consider any proposals or statements of interest received within 45 days (or 30 days if under an existing basic ordering agreement) after the date of the synopsis publication. Subcontracting opportunities may be available through Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, which interested firms should contact directly. The contract action is designated under NAICS code 541330, covering technical representative services related to ship and marine equipment, including diving services. The Government’s decision on whether to proceed with a competitive procurement will be based on responses to this notice, but the final determination rests solely with the Government. Solicitation documents are not available at this time, and this notification serves primarily to inform potential interested parties and allow them an opportunity to express interest or discuss capabilities. The place of performance, specific point of contact information, and agency details are not provided in the notice.
