Quantum Magnetometers

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is seeking to acquire Quantum Magnetometers through a sole-source procurement from Fieldline Industries Inc., which is the only supplier capable of providing the specific material required for these magnetometers. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the government explicitly intending to negotiate exclusively with Fieldline due to the absence of alternative sources or compatible materials on the market. The NAICS code associated with this procurement is 334519, and the business size is approximately 600 employees. Interested parties are invited to submit capabilities statements by August 28, 2025, at 12:00 PM to express interest or provide relevant information, although this notice does not constitute a solicitation for competitive proposals. The Department of Defense, through NSWCCD, emphasizes that the sole-source approach is justified because Fieldline Industries Inc. is uniquely positioned as the only provider of the necessary material, and no other vendors can meet the specific requirements. The government retains the discretion to decide whether to proceed with competition based on the responses received. All inquiries should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto via email or phone. This procurement underscores the critical need for specialized materials that are only available from this single source, ensuring the government’s acquisition aligns with operational and technical specifications.
