Ludlum Background Meter Parts

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Ludlum background meter equipment parts. The compliant material is available solely from Ludlum Measurements, Inc., as the required materials can only be purchased through Ludlum. The NAICS code is 334519 and the business size is 600 employees. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Ludlum. The proposed action is for Ludlum meter parts, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Ludlum is the only source of the required equipment, with no compatible material on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Ludlum Measurements, Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:59AM 16 January 2025. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 11:59AM on 01/16/2025 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at contact@example.gov.
