The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), intends to negotiate a sole source Purchase Order with Mark C. Pope Associates for the procurement of five shock- and vibration-reinforced Hobart 2400 units. This procurement is critical to meet the Navy's specific requirements for enhanced durability and performance in challenging environments. The Government plans to award the contract prior to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, with interested parties encouraged to express their capabilities by contacting Karen Morris at karen.l.morris49.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 445-227-0069. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and the Government retains discretion over the procurement process.
