Submarine Side Sonar

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego is planning to issue a sole source purchase order for a submarine side scanning sonar to be used by the Arctic Submarine Lab in San Diego, CA. The contract will be awarded to Edge Tech, located in West Wareham, MA, under the authority of FAR 6.302, without competitive bidding. This action follows FAR Parts 12 and 13, and the procurement is identified under NAICS code 334511, applicable to businesses with up to 750 employees. The government explicitly states that this notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes and that the decision to proceed with sole source procurement will be made solely at their discretion based on any responses received. Interested parties able to fulfill the requirement were invited to submit company information including contact details, CAGE and DUNS codes, NAICS classification, business size, and tax identification by a specified deadline. Responses were to be submitted via email by November 29, 2012, with no solicitation document available for release. If no other capable suppliers responded, the contract would proceed with the sole source award to Edge Tech. All communications and submissions were to be directed to the NAVSUP FLCSD point of contact, Joel Judy. The overall agency responsible for this contract action is the Department of Defense, specifically NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego.
