SOLE SOURCE - FASTENERS

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk's Groton Office plans to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation for replacement fastener parts needed by the Surface Warfare School Command in Norfolk, Virginia. The contract will have a delivery period of three weeks after contract award. This procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1, justifying the sole source award. Although this notice is not a solicitation for proposals or quotations, the government invites written challenges to the sole source justification. Any such challenges must provide sufficient information to demonstrate the existence of an equivalent service that meets the government's requirements and should be sent to the designated government representative for consideration. The contract, identified under solicitation number N0018922QG125, falls under NAICS code 332722, pertaining to the manufacture of bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer products. The contracting office is located in Norfolk, Virginia, and is part of the Department of Defense. The government retains sole discretion whether to compete the requirement based on any valid challenges received. The point of contact for this action is Jennifer M. Patton. The overall intent is to ensure timely procurement of critical fastener components essential for the operational readiness of the Surface Warfare School Command.
