NSWC Crane located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to award a BOA on a sole source basis to CAES Systems LLC.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of re-evaluating the justification for sole source or limitation of sources and making a determination to change the acquisition strategy to a competitive procurement. Solicitations and amendments for this sole source action will not be posted to Sam.gov and are available only from the POC identified below. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact CAES Systems LLC (305 Richardson Rd., Lansdale, PA 19446-1495) directly.
