Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Department of the Navy, through the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Austin Insulators, Inc. for two specific insulator components: six units of part number A-ST0123 Guy Insulator and three units of part number A-ST8027 Safety Core Insulator. The government has determined that Austin Insulators, Inc. is the only source capable of supplying these items, justifying the noncompetitive nature of the acquisition under CAGE code L0755. While the notice is anticipatory and not binding, all responsible contractors may still submit quotations, though any decision not to compete will rest solely with the government. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 335932 and is being managed out of the agency’s office in San Diego, California. Interested parties may submit questions, comments, or concerns exclusively via email to Andrew Mansfield at Andrew.j.mansfield3.civ@us.navy.mil, with all submissions required by 1200 Pacific Time on 14 July 2026. Phone or fax inquiries will not be accepted. This presolicitation notice, issued on 30 June 2026 under solicitation number 1301375612, remains open for feedback until the response deadline of 1900 Pacific Time on the same date. The contract will be executed as a commercial purchase without set-aside provisions, and performance is expected to occur in accordance with the supplier’s standard commercial delivery terms.
