Description

The U.S. Navy’s Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) is issuing a sole‑source notice to award a contract to Chant Engineering Co., the original equipment manufacturer of a government‑owned Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) Test Cart (Part No. 30787‑01). The requirement is urgent and includes on‑site evaluation of the test cart’s condition, repair to restore full operational capability, and delivery of operational and maintenance training to Navy personnel.

While the notice is not a competitive solicitation, other responsible sources may submit a capability statement within five days of publication for possible future competition. • Scope: On‑site diagnostic evaluation, repair of mechanical/electrical components, software/firmware updates (source code proprietary to OEM), and hands‑on training for maintenance crews. • Location: FRCSW (Southwest) – exact site not specified, but on‑site at the Navy facility. • Contractor: Chant Engineering Co., Inc. (OEM, sole source). • Period of performance: Not stated; expected to be short‑term, covering evaluation, repair, and training phases. • Deliverables: Restored test cart, training materials, and a field service report documenting work performed and recommendations. • Funding: No price listed; estimated total price not disclosed.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $500,000

No budget amount is disclosed in the notice. Based on typical costs for specialized aerospace test equipment repair, OEM parts, proprietary software updates, and on‑site training, a reasonable ballpark would be between $100,000 and $500,000. The lower end assumes minimal parts replacement and a brief training session; the higher end reflects extensive component replacement, detailed documentation, and multiple training days. Factors influencing the final amount include the condition of the test cart, parts availability, and the scope of training required.
