The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) Contracting Office (Code 400), hereby provides notice of its intent to award a sole-source, firm fixed service contract to Huntington Ingalls Inc., to provide: Inner Assemblies. The contract is expected to be awarded under FAR 12. A Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition has been prepared. The award shall be completed June 2026.

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE –

The U.S. Navy intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) / Newport News Shipbuilding for the procurement of six (6) critical reactor plant Inner Assemblies under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. HII is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the sole owner of the proprietary drawing 302-4363863 (Rev AA), and they are currently the only qualified source capable of performing the mandatory NAVSEA MIL-S-901C Grade A Hi-Shock testing required for these components. Although all responsible sources may submit capability statements for the Government's consideration, qualifying an alternate vendor at this stage would result in a substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable schedule delays to the fleet. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 336611 – SHIP BUILDING AND REPAIRING    with a  Business Size Standard of 1300 Employees. The Product Service Code for this acquisition is 6150: Miscellaneous electric power and distribution equipment
