The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Beach, is procuring a single Expeditionary Mobile Fuel Additization Capability (EMFAC) system from Hammond Technical Services Inc. on a sole-source basis under solicitation N61331-26-Q-TR42. The EMFAC is a proprietary, turnkey mobile system designed to convert commercial jet fuel into military-grade JP-8 fuel for use by the U.S. Marine Corps in remote, forward-deployed environments, leveraging exclusive manufacturing rights that prevent other vendors from replicating the capability. The procurement is classified as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12 and will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price contract with an estimated ceiling value of $350,000. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) by July 24, 2026, and must include a Capabilities Statement, proof of past performance on similar work, and a valid CAGE code. Evaluation will be based on a trade-off process considering Price, Delivery, Quality, and Past Performance, with no small business set-aside applied. The contract requires delivery to the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Panama City Beach, Florida, with acceptance occurring at the site between 0900 and 1430 local time on non-holiday weekdays. Inspection and acceptance are governed by FAR clauses 52.246-2 and 52.246-4, ensuring the delivered unit meets military fuel specifications and compatibility standards. Payment processing will be conducted electronically through WAWF, with contractors obligated to submit detailed invoices by CLIN/SLIN/TI for labor, materials, and other direct costs. The contract incorporates a broad array of FAR clauses addressing commercial item requirements, cybersecurity protections including prohibitions against Kaspersky and ByteDance products, safeguarding of contractor information systems, child labor compliance, and restrictions on prohibited entities. Additional clauses mandate reporting of executive compensation, CAGE code maintenance, and representation of ownership structure. While no specific packaging, marking, or preservation requirements are detailed, Unique Item Identification (UII) compliance via MIL-STD-130 is implied by referenced clauses. No pricing details, option quantities, or specific CLIN/SLIN values are populated in the solicitation, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Point of Contact beyond the Point of Contact personnel is designated.
