NSWC Philadelphia intends to award a five-year sole source contract to Caterpillar (CAT) for Lifecycle Manager and In-Service Engineering Agent support for Navy, Military Sealift Command and Coast Guard diesel engines. The notice says it is a notice of intent, not a request for competitive proposals. Other firms may only submit capability information. The notice was posted in 2019.

CAT is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the Navy's requirements for the specified effort.
- Not a request for competitive proposals. Responses are only used to decide whether to compete, and that decision is entirely up to the Government.
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
