Sole Source Posting

The U.S. Navy’s NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Fairmount Automation Inc. for the urgent repair of fueling stations DLCS-32 and DLCS-34 at its Norfolk, Virginia facility. The acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the proprietary nature of Fairmount Automation’s systems and the unavailability of equivalent components from other sources, as critical parts have become obsolete and no viable alternatives exist. The work is mission-critical to maintaining Ground Refueled (GRF) fuel certification and ensuring operational readiness of ship fuel systems, with performance required within 60 to 90 days after award. The solicitation number is 1301367249, and all challenges to the sole source designation must be submitted in writing to Charles D. Bell at charles.d.bell14.civ@us.navy.mil by May 15, 2026. No competitive solicitation is being issued, and the award will proceed without formal evaluation factors or price competition. The contract is limited to repair services using original equipment specifications to ensure form, fit, and function compatibility, with no separate line items, pricing details, or contract value disclosed. The place of performance is strictly the Norfolk site, and no packaging, marking, preservation, or invoicing specifications are outlined. The contracting office is identified, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative, Technical Representative, or Payment Office details are provided. Fairmount Automation’s CAGE code, UEI, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are not included in the documentation. The contract is not subject to option periods, security clearance requirements, or organizational conflict of interest clauses, as it is narrowly scoped to an urgent, non-competitive repair under simplified acquisition procedures.
