Notice of Award

The U.S. Navy’s NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk awarded a sole-source contract on July 7, 2026, to Pacific Consolidated Industries LLC for $46,840.35 under an urgent and compelling justification per FAR 12.102(a). This non-competitive acquisition was necessary to prevent serious mission degradation aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), where critical life-support and damage control systems—including liquid and gaseous oxygen components, aviation breathing systems, and portable exothermic cutting units—are failing and cannot be sustained without immediate replacement. The required parts, such as specific analyzers, touchscreen units, starters, control units, power distribution blocks, and motors, have extended production lead times ranging from 50 to 120 days, and no alternative suppliers could meet the timeline or technical specifications. Delivery is required by July 15, 2026, with performance based at Norfolk, Virginia, where the contracting office and the vessel’s logistics support are co-located. The contract was issued without solicitation, competitive bidding, or formal documentation, and no clause, specification, packaging, inspection, or invoicing details beyond urgency parameters were provided. The award was justified solely on operational necessity, with no socioeconomic certifications, small business status declarations, or unique entity identifiers disclosed for the contractor. Contact for inquiries is limited to Contract Specialist Joseph Frech, who holds full contracting authority and is the only point of contact designated by the government for this acquisition.
