16--STRAP,WEBBING - AND SIMILAR REPLACEMENT PARTS

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Philadelphia plans to award a sole source contract to The Boeing Company for three units of a specific aircraft strap webbing spare part (NSN 0Q-1680-017210557-SX, part numbers 017210557 and 017210580). This particular item is proprietary to Boeing as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), holding exclusive rights and data necessary for production, and no known alternative suppliers exist. The contract is expected to be awarded under a one-year duration, with delivery terms FOB origin, and will comply with UID and Buy American requirements. The procurement process will follow FAR Part 15 procedures, deliberately excluding FAR Part 12 for commercial item acquisitions, with the solicitation scheduled to be posted around May 20, 2026, and a proposal deadline of June 20, 2026. Although the Government intends to negotiate with a single responsible source, it invites all capable sources to submit capability statements or proposals within 15 days of the notice to demonstrate their qualifications. The acquisition will be conducted electronically through NECO, with no physical solicitations distributed and no telephone inquiries entertained. The anticipated contract award date is August 20, 2026. Interested parties not currently approved to manufacture the part may submit a Source Approval Request, but procurement will continue without waiting for SAR approval. The contract is not set aside for small businesses, and the applicable NAICS code is 336413, under PSC 1680. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Deja S. Thompson-Mitchell, reachable via email for submissions and inquiries. This sole source action is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302, reflecting the unique nature of the requirement and the limited availability of this critical spare component.
