AI Contract Overview
NAVSUP FLCSD intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to EOS of North America, Inc. for the repair and replacement of the proprietary controller system on an EOS M100 3D printer located at the Naval Postgraduate School’s Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Monterey, California. Competition is not feasible because the EOS M100 relies on proprietary hardware, firmware, diagnostic software, and source code exclusively owned and controlled by the original equipment manufacturer; no third-party or non-authorized service provider has access to the necessary tools, manuals, or passcodes required to perform maintenance or repairs that meet OEM performance standards, ensure warranty validity, or guarantee system compatibility. The work involves procurement and installation of OEM-specific controller components, diagnostic testing, and full system calibration, with deliverables including a validated test print and a detailed service summary report submitted within five business days. The contract will be awarded under FAR 12.201-1, leveraging commercial item procedures, and is anticipated to be finalized no later than June 2, 2026. All personnel performing work must be U.S. citizens with a favorable Tier 3 background investigation completed prior to start, hold a DoD Common Access Card at IT Level II, complete OPSEC and counter-intelligence training within 30 days of assignment, and be formally authorized by EOS of North America to service the M100 system. The Government will review capability statements submitted by May 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM PDT via email to assess whether any alternative sources exist, though the intent remains sole-source due to technical exclusivity. Submissions must be no more than six pages in 10-point Times New Roman font and include proof of OEM authorization, technical capability, key personnel qualifications, relevant experience, and pricing. No formal evaluation weights or scoring rubric are provided; the Government will determine whether to proceed with sole-source award or open competition based solely on the completeness and relevance of submitted capability statements. Contract administration details such as payment office, accounting codes, and contracting officer representative are not specified, but all work must be performed on-site at the NPS facility with no FOB or packaging requirements defined.

Full Description
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. NAVSUP FLCSD intends to award a sole-source contract.
NAVSUP FLCSD intends to solicit and award a commercial, sole source, firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract to EOS of North America, Inc., 28970 Cabot Drive, Ste. 700, Novi, MI, using the procedures in FAR part 12.201-1.
Competition is not feasible because the required controller and repair services for the EOS M100 3D Printer can only be provided by the original equipment manufacturer and its proprietary processes, making EOS of North America the only responsible source for this procurement.
Under FAR 12.102(a), only one source is reasonably available. NAVSUP FLCSD requires a proprietary process controller and repair services for the EOS M100 3D Printer for NPS. Only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and services are acceptable due to the use of proprietary technology and diagnostic software, which are necessary to ensure compatibility with the existing system at NPS, maintain OEM warranty coverage, and meet required performance standards. Third-party or non-authorized service providers do not have access to the proprietary software, source codes, or technical documentation needed to perform the required maintenance and repairs.
Required services include procurement and installation of proprietary controller hardware and firmware, diagnostic testing, and OEM system calibration. The EOS M100 is proprietary; EOS of North America is the only source, as they own the source code and diagnostic software and do not license manuals or passcodes to others.
The anticipated award date is on or before June 02, 2026. NAICS code: 811210 Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance
This notice is not a request for quotations, as no solicitation document exists. Interested sources must submit a capability statement with management, technical, and cost details, along with proof of authorization. Capability statements should address the following elements:
- Relevant experience with OEM 3D printer maintenance and repair
- Technical capability to perform required proprietary processes
- Certifications or authorizations from EOS of North America or the OEM
- Key personnel qualifications
- Evidence of access to necessary proprietary tools, software, or documentation
- Pricing information
- Proof of authorization to service EOS M100 systems
Providing these details will help ensure your submission can be fully considered. For a full description of the required services, see the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS).
Capability statements must not exceed 6 pages using at least a 10-point, Times New Roman, font. The Government will review all timely capability statements for completeness and relevance to the requirements listed above. All submissions will be used to determine whether they demonstrate the capability to meet the Government's needs. Following the review, respondents may be contacted for additional information or clarification if necessary. The results of this assessment will help the Government determine whether there are qualified sources and inform the decision on whether to continue with sole-source procurement or pursue competition. Requests for information or submissions with only questions are not affirmative responses. The decision to compete or proceed with a sole-source contract rests solely within the Government’s discretion. Any information provided in response to this Notice may only be used to determine the procurement method.
Submit capability statements by 3:00 PM PDT, on May 18, 2026, by e-mail ONLY as a Word or PDF attachment to Allaine Benson at allaine.g.benson.civ@us.navy.mil. Please ensure all submissions are addressed to the listed contact to avoid any delays or missed deadlines.
