Notice of Intent to Sole Source for NNSY Preventative Maintenance and Calibration of Party Count Analyzer

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract to PAMAS for the preventive maintenance, performance verification, support, and annual recertification of calibration for one PAMAS Particle Count Analyzer, Model SBSS, Serial Number 320-2283, located at the MARMTL Facility in Building 184, Room 367, Portsmouth, Virginia. This requirement is classified as a commercial item under FAR 2.101 and will be procured under FAR Subpart 12.2, with the NAICS code 811210 and Product Service Code J066. The procurement is designated as a sole source transaction pursuant to FAR 6.103-1(d), as PAMAS is the only responsible source identified as reasonably available to meet the agency’s specific technical needs, which require services performed exclusively by a PAMAS certified technician using ASTM proficiency or QC samples for calibration verification. The work must result in an itemized work order detailing all maintenance and repair actions and a performance verification certificate upon completion, with any equipment found outside ASTM specifications repaired at no additional cost. Contractors must comply with stringent site access protocols, including obtaining a DBIDS card via completion of SECNAV 5512 forms and proof of U.S. citizenship to receive a NAVSEA badge; camera-enabled personal electronic devices are permitted in the Controlled Industrial Area but prohibited in Nuclear Work Areas, Controlled Nuclear Information Areas, and aboard Navy submarines. All activities are subject to prior written authorization from the Contracting Officer via modification, and no work may begin without it. Although the notice is issued as a pre-solicitation sole source announcement with a response deadline of June 22, 2026, it is not a competitive request, and the government retains full discretion to proceed without opening the requirement to competition regardless of responses received. Any submissions from interested parties will be considered but not compensated, and the contract value, period of performance, and detailed payment terms are not specified in the available documentation.
