NAVAIR FMS hydraulic particle-counter equipment requirement

**Buyer:** NAWCAD
**Posted:** October 06, 2026
**Respond By:** October 21, 2026
**Identifier:** N6833526R1118
**NAICS:** 334516, 334514

NAVAIR’s Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Lakehurst, is seeking particle-counter equipment for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) support.
- **Government buyer:** Department of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), NAWCAD, Lakehurst.
- **Named vendor/OEM:** **D-2 Incorporated** is identified as the intended supplier for the particle-counter equipment.
- **Requested equipment in the initial release:**
  - 38 Hydraulic Fluid Particle Counters, part number 4348AS1000-1.
  - 12 Phosphate Ester Particle Counter Assemblies, part number 4348AS2000-1.
  - 4 NOAP Lab Particle Counters, part number 4348AS3000-1.
- **Purpose and requirements:** The counters detect and classify particulate contamination in hydraulic fluid so fluid cleanliness can be assessed against requirements. The equipment supports FMS programs and aircraft or support-equipment deployments.
- **Attachment discrepancy:** The FMS spreadsheet describes the same three part numbers as fluids rather than counters and lists different quantities: 54 Hydraulic Fluid, 38 Phosphate Ester (Skydrol), and 12 NOAP, plus 4 additional related items without a part number. These attachment entries are listed separately below because the supplied materials do not resolve the inconsistency.
- **FMS countries named in the attachment:** Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nigeria, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Aircraft platforms mentioned include F/A-18, P-8A, E-2C/D, and MH-60R.

### Description

<p>The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Lakehurst intends to negotiate and make an award on a sole-source basis with D-2 Incorporated, CAGE: 4EKX8 for a Fixed-Price contract.&nbsp;This action is for the procurement of (QTY 38) Hydraulic Fluid Particle Counters, Part Number: 4348AS1000-1, (QTY12) Phosphate Ester Particle Counter Assemblies, Part Number: 4348AS2000-1, and (QTY 4) NOAP Lab ParticleCounter, Part Number: 4348AS3000-1, in support of the attached Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs. This Common Support Equipment (CSE) is required in support of extended deployment of the listed platforms. The Hydraulic Contamination Control Program and the Aviation Hydraulic Manual Requires Verification of the Cleanliness of Hydraulic Fluid in both aircraft and Support Equipment. Particle Counters detect the size and number of particulate materials in Hydraulic Fluid, classify the degree of contamination of the fluid and based on the degree (i.e., class) of contamination, will pass or fail the hydraulic fluid.</p>

<p>The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) &ldquo;Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements&rdquo; for this action. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov) is mandatory for consideration. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for an award of a contract.</p>
