    The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is pursuing a sole-source contract with Washington Marine Cleaning, LLC (WMC) for sail coating removal services, specifically for an LSV sail. Citing FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), the government asserts that WMC is the exclusive provider of this required service, as no alternatives exist on the market. The procurement process will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the intention to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to WMC. Interested entities may submit a capabilities statement by 11:59 AM on April 18, 2025, although this notice is not an invitation for competitive proposals. The government retains discretion over whether to pursue competitive procurement based on received interest. Inquiries are to be directed to Michael Bonaiuto via email for further clarification. This document conveys the NSWCCD’s commitment to efficiently and effectively meet its service requirements through a targeted procurement strategy.

    The document outlines a solicitation for the removal of external coatings from LSV (Landing Ship Vehicle) sails, contracted under the reference number N0016725Q1026. This firm-fixed-price contract is to be executed at Everett, Washington, with a total quantity of one lot. The performance period is scheduled from April 30, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with delivery to NSWC Carderock in Bethesda, Maryland. Key details include comprehensive instructions regarding payment processes, required documentation, and clauses referencing federal regulations pertaining to invoicing and contractor duties, particularly regarding compliance with cybersecurity mandates and management of government property. The contract includes provisions for hazardous materials handling, emphasizing safety and regulatory adherence. The emphasis throughout the document is on maintaining standards for performance and compliance, ensuring contractual obligations are met effectively within federal guidelines. The overall purpose serves to contract experienced vendors for specialized services adhering to established government procurement protocols.
    REDACTED Sole Source.docx
    The NSWCCD seeks to justify the sole-source procurement of specialized coating removal services using ultra high-pressure waterjet (UHPWJ) from Washington Marine Cleaning, LLC, based on requirements that are not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. As outlined in FAR regulations, competition is absent due to the unique capabilities and experience necessary for safely performing this specialized task, which differs significantly from standard marine cleaning services. Washington Marine Cleaning has a proven track record with similar projects, mitigating the risk of damage or injury that could arise from improperly trained contractors. The justification indicates that training a new contractor would substantially increase costs and timelines, potentially impacting crucial Navy testing programs. Ultimately, this consolidation of expertise emphasizes the need for procurement choices that align with operational efficiency and safety regulations, reinforcing the rationale for non-competitive procurement in this case.
