Quick Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Eastern Mountain Optics, Inc., dba Baker Marine Instruments for the overhaul and repair of Fujinon 25x150 Binoculars, Mounts, and Angle Rings. This notice is an intent to sole-source, not a request for competitive proposals. Firms believing they can meet the requirements must submit documentation within 15 days of publication (by June 4, 2026).
Scope of Work
The requirement includes the overhaul and repair of four Fujinon 25x150 Binoculars, Mounts, and Angle Rings, along with four spare angle rings. Specific services include:
- Fujinon 25x150 MTM Complete Overhaul Maintenance: Sandblast-paint, seals, nitrogen purge, alignment, and eye lens replacement (Qty 4 units, 8 lenses).
- Fujinon 25x150 MTM Mount Overhaul: Sandblast-paint, replacement of bushings/bearings, and angle rings (Qty 4).
- Supplies/Parts: Four NOAA-Style Big Eye Binocular Mount Spare Angle Rings (base portion, indicator, and rose).
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order
- Period of Performance: Date of award to November 15, 2026
- NAICS Code: 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance)
- Size Standard: $34.0M
- Response Due: June 4, 2026 (15 days after May 21, 2026 publication)
- Published Date: May 21, 2026
Justification for Sole Source
NOAA's sole-source determination is based on Eastern Mountain Optics, Inc., dba Baker Marine Instruments, being the only authorized vendor in the United States capable of servicing the Fujinon 25x150 Binocular, Mount, and Angle Ring. Using an unauthorized vendor could void seals, cause optical misalignment, and lead to mission downtime and increased costs, particularly for the spring 2027 Marianas Archipelago Cetacean Survey.
Action for Interested Parties
This is not a request for competitive proposals. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. Oral communications are not acceptable.
