The Department of Defense, through the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), intends to award a sole source contract to Q.E.D Systems, Inc. for the procurement of long lead time material (LLTM) necessary for the maintenance, repair, and modernization of various US Navy surface ships. This Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) will encompass all aspects of sourcing, procuring, receiving, storing, and shipping LLTM, which is critical for the timely execution of maintenance activities on CG, DDG-51, DDG-1000, LCS, LHA, LHD, LPD, and LSD class ships. The proximity of Q.E.D.'s facilities to Navy Regional Maintenance Centers enhances the efficiency of LLTM support, ensuring rapid response and quality assurance, thereby preventing delays in meeting Navy maintenance requirements. Interested parties may submit exceptions to this sole source intent by the specified response due date; however, the Government is not obligated to consider these submissions.
