Notice of Intent to Sole Source, Preventative and Emergent Maintenance for Aluminum Ion Vapor Disposition System (AIVD)

The U.S. Navy’s Fleet Readiness Center Southeast in Jacksonville, Florida, requires scheduled semi-annual preventive maintenance, personnel training on maintenance procedures, and emergent repairs for two government-owned Aluminum Ion Vapor Disposition (AIVD) systems. To meet this need, the Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers, based in Patuxent River, Maryland, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Pregl Services Inc. under FAR 6.103-1(b), citing the company as the only responsible source due to its exclusive proprietary licensing and restrictive data rights essential for servicing these specialized systems. No competitive solicitation is being issued, but any other responsible vendor may submit a capability statement within three business days of the notice’s publication to potentially influence a decision to open the requirement to competition, though the government retains full discretion to proceed with sole sourcing regardless of responses received. The procurement is identified under solicitation number N6852026Q0267, classified under NAICS code 811310 for industrial machinery repair and maintenance. The notice was posted on August 5, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The place of performance is in Jacksonville, Florida, where the AIVD systems are located, and all work must be performed in accordance with the government’s operational and technical requirements. The primary point of contact for inquiries or submissions is Jenna Lang of the Fleet Readiness Center, reachable via email at Jenna.l.lang2.civ@us.navy.mil. This action is part of the Department of Defense’s maintenance and sustainment efforts for critical defense infrastructure reliant on proprietary technology.
