Contract & Timeline
- Type: Award Notice (based on Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition)
- Item: MK 272 MOD 0 Fire Extinguisher Cartridge
- Sole Source: Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. (54181)
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (sole-source justification)
- Final Delivery Date: October 29, 2025
- Published Date: May 18, 2026
Justification & Evaluation
The procurement is justified because market research, including an In-Service Engineer Activity (ISEA) technical review and a source sought notice, indicated that only Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. can meet the government's requirements. The item is governed by source-controlled technical data, and Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. is the sole source listed on Government Source Control Drawing #7263959. The Government lacks sufficient rights in the technical data to allow acquisition from other sources. Any additional sources would require approval by NSWC Indian Head Division.
Additional Notes
A class waiver for the requirement to post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice was obtained on March 15, 2019. NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair this item to submit complete technical data packages for review and source approval to promote future competition. Future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
