Mid Year 2019 OPN

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to enter into a sole-source contract with Bechtel Corporation, specifically Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc. (BPMI), for the procurement of naval nuclear propulsion components. This action is under the authority of FAR 6.302, which allows the government to negotiate and solicit from only one source, and no solicitation documents are currently available. The notice serves purely as informational, outlining that firms interested in subcontract opportunities should contact BPMI directly, but it does not constitute a request for competitive proposals or a commitment to award a contract. The government clarifies that this pre-solicitation notice is to gauge potential interest and capability for future competitive procurements if deemed necessary. Responding to this notice will not guarantee a solicitation or contract award, nor will the government reimburse costs related to information submissions or questions. Should a competitive solicitation be issued, it will be announced publicly through official channels like FEDBIZOPPS. The contract relates to the industrial category NAICS 332410, with a focus on components supporting the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, but specific contract details such as completion dates and performance locations remain undisclosed. For inquiries, the designated contract specialist is Samuel S. Bouchelle.
