16--NAVY REPAIR

This contract pertains to a five-year repair services agreement with an estimated value of $2,754,000, covering two specific radio set components identified by their National Stock Numbers: RADIO SET, NSN 014994473, and CONTROL, RADIO SET T, NSN 015000556. The contract is a requirements type, meaning the government will order services as needed over the duration of the contract. The only approved vendor for this contract is The Boeing Company, located in Lanham, Maryland, as these items are flight critical and lack an available technical data package, which restricts sourcing to government-approved suppliers. New sources are not likely to be approved in time to affect the award, so only previously approved sources have been invited to submit proposals. Non-approved sources interested in bidding must provide detailed approval information as outlined by the U.S. Navy Aviation Supply Office. This procurement is managed by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office, part of the Department of Defense, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The solicitation was posted in March 2012 under the NAICS code 332212, which covers Hardware Manufacturing. Due to the critical safety nature of the items, the contract specifications emphasize strict adherence to source approval to ensure that only qualified and authorized vendors perform the required repairs, maintaining the reliability and performance of these critical aerospace components.
