Sole Source Award to Froude Hoffman Inc.

The Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group intends to award a $180,000 sole source purchase order to Froude Hoffman Inc. for the condition assessment and repair of a Froude F359-GT dynamometer used in the T400 Engine Test Cell. This requirement, identified under solicitation N68520-26-SIMACQ-JC00000-0181, involves a 16-week performance period at FRC East in North Carolina. Froude Hoffman Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer and holds the proprietary data necessary for the full overhaul of the equipment.

This procurement is classified under NAICS 811310 Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance and PSC J052 MAINT/REPAIR/REBUILD OF EQUIPMENT- MEASURING TOOLS. There is no set-aside assigned to this action, identified as set-aside acronym/code NONE; explanation: NONE. The government is proceeding with a sole source award in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) because no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency’s technical requirements.

Although this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, responsible sources may submit capability statements to point of contact Christine Butler by the response deadline of June 17, 2026. Submissions will be used solely to determine whether the government should conduct a competitive procurement instead of the planned sole source award. A final determination regarding competition remains within the discretion of the government.
