NORTEC 700 Portable Eddy Current & Accessories

Description: Fleet Readiness Center Southeast seeks a NORTEC 700 eddy-current flaw detector system with associated scanners, probes, and interface cables to establish a standardized digital baseline for the Navy’s Automate NDI with Machine Learning (ANIMAL) Project. The Navy intends a firm-fixed-price, sole-source purchase from Evident Scientific MIS, Inc., identified as the only known source, because substitutions could compromise delivery, validation, or calibration. Offers are due November 5, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. EST; the notice says this is not a request for competitive proposals, but submissions received by the deadline will be considered.
