Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, has issued a Presolicitation for Flowmeters (NSN 7H-6680-016927188). This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside notice of intent to acquire 20 units on a sole-source basis due to proprietary data rights. However, responsible sources were invited to submit statements of interest and capability. The deadline for responses was April 21, 2026.

Requirement Details

This requirement is for 20 Flowmeters, NSN 7H-6680-016927188, to be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard L1SS, Kittery, ME 03904. The acquisition is justified under AMC 5 / AMSC P, indicating a sole-source procurement where the Government does not own the data rights, and reverse engineering is uneconomical. This is a Level 1 item to be acquired from approved sources only. Offerors' inspection systems must conform to MIL-I-45208A or an equivalent certified by a joint DCMA/NAVSUP WSS survey team.
