    Title
    Posted
    The NSWCCD SAP Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo outlines the rationale for a non-competitive acquisition of a PAWDS Cyclonic Separator cooling coil from PyroGenesis Canada Inc. for the CVN-78. Citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), FAR 8.405-6, and FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), the memo justifies soliciting only one source because PyroGenesis Canada Inc. is the sole manufacturer of the newly designed component (PN W6 2602 320000) and its sub-assembly. The previous version degraded every nine months, prompting the development of this new design. Market research confirmed no other heat exchangers met the CVN-78’s dimensions or naval environmental requirements. This procurement, under the simplified acquisition threshold, ensures the continued operation of the PAWDS, a critical waste handling system on the CVN-78 class.
    The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for a cyclonic separator cooling coil and baffle, essential for the CVN-78 class Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) modernization. This firm-fixed price procurement, under NAICS code 333519, seeks one cooling coil (PN W6 2602 320000) and one baffle (PN W6 2602 340001), to be delivered to Norfolk, VA, by May 29, 2026. Quotes are due by August 12, 2025, 11:00 AM ET, and must include company letterhead, pricing, CAGE Code, FOB Destination, point of contact, GSA contract number (if applicable), business size, and all pricing rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The solicitation incorporates various FAR and DFARS clauses, including detailed instructions for electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) and requirements for Item Unique Identification (IUID). Delivery guidelines for NSWCCD facilities and holiday schedules are also provided.
