Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH) intends to award a sole source contract for Flowmeters (NSN 7H-6680-016927188). This presolicitation notice indicates an intent to acquire 20 units directly from a sole source contractor under AMC 5 and AMSC P, meaning the Government does not own the data rights for additional sources, and reverse engineering is uneconomical. Despite the sole source intent, this opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Responsible sources, particularly small businesses, are invited to identify their interest and capability to respond. Proposals are due by February 26, 2026, 8:30 PM UTC.

Award will be made only if the offeror, product/service, or manufacturer meets qualification requirements (FAR clause 52.209-1) at the time of award.
