SZX16 STEREO SCOP

The U.S. Navy, through the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, intends to sole-source a firm fixed-price purchase of the SZX16 STEREO SCOP from Evident Scientific under Simplified Acquisition Procedures per FAR Part 13, citing FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the item being available only directly from the manufacturer. Solicitation N0042126Q1253 is not a competitive request, and responses received will only be used to assess the appropriateness of sole sourcing; no payment will be made for information submitted. All offerors must be currently registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award, and submissions are required via email to Annie Bohmann no later than June 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The delivery is set for September 15, 2026, to the designated location at NAVAIR, Patuxent River, Maryland, with FOB Destination terms making the contractor responsible for transportation and risk until receipt. The contract is strictly for the supplied item with no option quantities specified, and pricing details are to be provided by the offeror without any estimated value disclosed in the solicitation. Performance and acceptance will occur at the same location, with inspection governed by MIL-STD-130 for unique item identification using Data Matrix barcodes per ECC200 and ISO/IEC standards, and MIL-STD-129 for shipment and container labeling. Payment must be submitted exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow system, adhering to DFARS 252.232-7006, with the designated pay official being N6414 and invoicing coordinated through official Navy points of contact. Clause requirements include cybersecurity safeguards under DFARS 252.204-7012, prohibitions against certain telecommunications equipment, restrictions on subcontracting under covered national security concerns, and compliance with safeguarding controlled unclassified information. All contractual obligations must align with FAR and DFARS clauses, including those governing electronic funds transfer, contractor representations, and prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations or entities that fail to disclose tax violations. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is named, and no attachments or evaluation factors beyond the sole-source basis are provided in the document, leaving the technical and pricing evaluation entirely dependent on the offeror’s submission in compliance with SAM registration and labeling mandates.
