Mid-Year 14 OPN

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to enter into a contract with Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc. for the provision of naval nuclear propulsion components. This action is intended to be awarded as a sole-source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302, meaning that the government will negotiate exclusively with Bechtel without a formal competitive solicitation. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest and capability to participate as subcontractors, but this notice is primarily informational and does not constitute a solicitation for competitive proposals. Any proposals submitted within 45 days of the notice’s publication (or 30 days if using an existing basic ordering agreement) will be considered to help determine whether a competitive procurement should be pursued, though the final decision rests solely with the government. The contract pertains to supplies or services aligned with the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, with work expected to occur at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, DC. The solicitation number associated with this action is N00024-14-R-2102, and the relevant NAICS code is 541330, which corresponds to engineering services. For further inquiries or subcontracting interest, the point of contact is Susan B. Scutt, who can be reached via email or phone. No completion date or detailed solicitation documents have been provided, and this notice serves to inform potential subcontractors and gather information ahead of awarding the non-competitive contract.
