Sole Source to Deval Life Cycle Support LLC for AERO-64 Soft Belt Adapter

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is seeking to award a sole source contract to DeVal Life Cycle Support LLC for the procurement of AERO-64 Soft Belt Adapters. The requirement is for 28 units of the item, and the estimated value of the contract is greater than $25,000. The justification for the sole source award is that DeVal Life Cycle Support is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the adapters, and they are the only source that can meet the government's needs. The adapters are certified and approved for use with the support equipment, and purchasing from another source would require certification and approval, resulting in significant project delays and unplanned costs. • The contract will be a firm fixed price contract. • The government's minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel. • The contract represents the best value to the government, considering the unique and time-sensitive mission requirements of Special Operating Forces.
