Description

Department of War/Washington Headquarters Services (DoW/WHS) intends to solicit on a sole source basis under statutory authority permitting Other than Full and Open Competition authorized under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1, Only One Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This Sole Source award is to Norbit US, LTD (Cage Code: 6P4L8/ Unique Entity ID: JT2GEAMJ9DK4). The Contracting Officer has determined that Norbit US, LTD. is the only source reasonably available to perform these services in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a) for acquisitions valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) requires a non-personal services contract for a vendor to procure and deliver Norbit Multibeam Echo Equipment and Accessories delivered to the DPAA in Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. DPAA requires a modern multibeam sonar system to enhance its capability to detect and map seafloor objects. The Norbit Multibeam system provides sub-centimeter bathymetric data detecting and mapping seafloor objects to expedite the identification of possible loss incident-related material and aid in initial interpretation of those materials allowing for increased efficiency of intensive ground-truthing investigations that require remotely operated vehicles and/or divers. A more detailed of the seafloor surface also allows for more accurate and detailed dive operation planning increasing the safety of personnel. This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a Request for Quote (RFQ), and no solicitation document is available. Requests for copies of a solicitation in response to this notice will not be honored or acknowledged. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement is based upon market research. Information received in reference to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not conducting a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. The Government will consider written capability statements from interested parties. To be considered, responding firms must submit clear and convincing evidence and documentation demonstrating their ability to provide an equipment solution that is fully interoperable and compliant with the existing baseline of Multibeam Echo Equipment and Accessories currently in operation at DPAA facilities. All information submitted shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Response Deadline: All responses must be submitted electronically via email to the Contract Specialist, Jacob Lindell, at jacob.r.lindell.civ@mail.mil and to the Contracting Officer, Jeanelle Joseph, at jeanelle.joseph.civ@mail.mil no later than 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on 27 September 2026.
