16--DETECTOR,METALLIC P, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The Department of Defense's NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia plans to procure eight units of a specific metallic detector component (PN: 06351-02801-102, NSN: 7RH 1615 016665284 H5) on a sole source basis from Sikorsky. This procurement is intended as a repair under existing contractual arrangements, with the government asserting that only Sikorsky is capable of providing the required items, as supported by the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302. The award is anticipated to be made under the current Basic Ordering Agreement N0038320GX901, and any new manufacturer must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) if not already approved, though the procurement will proceed regardless of SAR approval status. The acquisition will follow FAR Part 15 procedures, and market research indicates that this is not a commercial item purchase under FAR Part 12. The notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive solicitation, but interested parties can submit capabilities and qualifications within 45 days for consideration, primarily to assess potential for future competition. The anticipated award date is February 2025, with electronic submission procedures in place via NECO, and no hard copies or telephone requests will be accepted. The contract is not set aside for small businesses, and the procurement aims to fulfill specific military requirements efficiently. For additional information or to submit capabilities, interested organizations can contact Jacob R. Wells via email.
