SOLE SOURCE NOTICE

The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Groton Office plans to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Evoqua Water Technologies LLC in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. This contract award is intended without competition, focusing on a specific requirement that Evoqua Water Technologies is uniquely positioned to fulfill. The notice explicitly states that it is not a solicitation for proposals or quotations, but it does invite written challenges regarding the sole source determination. Such challenges must provide sufficient information to demonstrate that another service provider could meet the government's needs. These challenges must be submitted via email to the designated point of contact, Nichole Stevens, and the government retains full discretion in deciding whether to open the requirement for competition based on the responses received. The contract is identified under solicitation number N0018923QG059 and relates to the NAICS code 811310, which covers commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair and maintenance. The contracting office is located in Norfolk, Virginia, within the Department of Defense’s organizational structure. While no set-aside type or performance location details are specified, the process reflects a clear regulatory and procedural framework for sole source contracting, emphasizing the government's intent to proceed with Evoqua Water Technologies unless a valid competing service is demonstrated. This streamlined approach supports timely acquisition while allowing for oversight through potential challenge submissions.
