AI Contract Overview
The Naval Supply Systems Command, Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville, plans to award a sole source contract to Solar Electric Power Company (SEPCO) for the procurement of solar powered lights. This decision is driven by the need to retrofit existing street light poles with compatible solar lighting at critical locations near major crosswalks. SEPCO’s solar lighting components, originally installed in 2011, are fully compatible with the current infrastructure, avoiding the technical risks, additional engineering costs, and warranty issues that would arise from using products from other manufacturers. The complexity of integrating different manufacturers' technologies with the existing control, charging, and pole systems could compromise system reliability and potentially require full replacement rather than repair. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335139, with a small business size standard of 1250 employees. Though this notice serves as a solicitation for information and is intended to inform potential suppliers of the sole source intent, responses from other vendors are encouraged but must provide substantive evidence demonstrating an ability to meet the requirements without necessitating extra engineering or compatibility testing. Responses must be received by May 15, 2026, and if no alternate sources present compelling justifications, the Navy will proceed with the sole source award to SEPCO. Communication regarding this opportunity is directed to the primary point of contact, Yaynel Yambo, via the provided email address.

Full Description
Notice of Intent to Sole Source
Solar Powered Lights
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (FLCJ), FL intends to issue a sole source award for the procurement of SEPCO Solar Lights to SOLAR ELECTRIC POWERCOMPANY. The procurement of the Solar Electrical Material, will enable cost effectiveness to repurpose existing street light poles to utilize the required solar lighting, necessary over critical locations along major crosswalks. Going with any other manufacturer would require costs to cover on-site engineering designs to ensure compatibility between the existing electronic systems on the eight existing poles and may cause warranty issues due to the mixing of technologies from different manufacturers. SEPCO is the original manufacturer’s components and have been verified to be fully compatible with the existing solar lighting infrastructure currently installed at the site. The existing solar lighting system was originally installed in 2011 using SEPCO-manufactured equipment. Although other manufacturers may produce similar solar lighting components, no alternate source has been identified that can be installed without additional engineering analysis, onsite verification, and compatibility testing with the existing control systems, charging systems, solar panels, and pole infrastructure currently in place on the eight installed light poles. Use of non-SEPCO components would introduce technical risk, require additional engineering costs, and may create operational issues associated with mixing technologies from different manufacturers. It may also affect system reliability and could necessitate full replacement of the existing system rather than repair of the non-functional components.
The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code that this work falls under is 335139, with a Small Business Size of 1250. This notice of intent is for information purposes only. All sources eligible to provide this requirement must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability to provide this requirement as outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received, within 10 calendar days after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable items are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining this product through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this notice is to be sent to Yaynel.c.yambo.civ@us.navy.mil
