Sole Source, Phillips Corporation

The U.S. Navy’s Fleet Readiness Center at Patuxent River, Maryland, intends to award a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement exclusively to Phillips Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer, for preventative maintenance and repair services on specialized equipment. This sole-source action is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) because Phillips Corporation is the only known source capable of providing the necessary services, owing to its proprietary knowledge and ownership of the equipment. The agreement will support critical operational readiness by ensuring timely and qualified maintenance without the need for competitive bidding. The solicitation number is N68520-25-SIMACQ-KN00000-0408, with a NAICS code of 811210, and the contract performance will occur at the agency’s location in Maryland. While this notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, responsible parties may submit a capability statement by June 3, 2026, to be considered for potential future competition. Any submissions received will be evaluated solely to inform the government’s decision on whether to reopen the requirement for competition, though the final determination rests entirely at the government’s discretion. The point of contact for inquiries is Christine Butler, reachable via email at christine.w.butler2.civ@us.navy.mil. The action is classified as a special notice under the Department of Defense, and no set-aside provisions apply.
