Standard Navy Valve Engineering and Design Services

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to award a sole source level-of-effort contract to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated - Newport News Shipbuilding for engineering and design services, as well as material support, related to acting as the Planning Yard for Standard Navy Valves used in the engine rooms of nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers. This contract focuses on providing specialized services and supplies that are critical for maintaining and supporting vital valve components in naval nuclear vessels. The Government intends to negotiate exclusively with this single source under FAR 6.302; however, it remains open to considering capability statements, proposals, or quotations submitted by other responsible sources within a specified response window. The solicitation, identified as N00024-16-R-2103, was posted on April 9, 2015, with the place of performance located in Newport News, Virginia. Though this notice does not request competitive proposals directly, all submissions received within forty-five days of the synopsis publication (or thirty days if the award is issued under an existing basic ordering agreement) will be reviewed by the Government. Ultimately, the decision whether to pursue a competitive procurement rests solely with the Government based on the information received. The contract aligns with NAICS code 541330, covering engineering services, and further communication is coordinated through the contracting officer, Susan B. Scutt.
