17--BARREL ASSEMBLY,AIR

The contract award pertains to the procurement of two BARREL ASSEMBLY units, NSN 1710-01-495-9310, with a unit price of $300,954.00 and a total estimated value of $601,908.00, issued under solicitation number N0038324RC553 by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The acquisition is conducted as a sole-source award under FAR 6.302-1 due to the item’s designation as a Critical Safety Item and the exclusive possession of proprietary technical data by only two qualified vendors—Hamill Manufacturing Company and NWI Precision Tube ULC—authorized under NAVAIR TDR 24-10048A. No alternate sources are currently qualified, and any new vendor must undergo NAVAIR’s formal engineering source approval process before eligibility. The place of performance and delivery is confirmed as the NAVSUP WSS facility at 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5098, with acceptance responsibilities held by the Government, though specific inspection protocols or locations are not detailed. The contract includes an unexercised option valued at the same amount as the base award, with no funding allocated to it. Packaging, preservation, marking, and barcoding requirements are not explicitly defined in the available documentation, though compliance with JDRS and ITIMP standards is implied. No formal evaluation factors, contract type (e.g., FFP, CPFF), or invoicing method are specified, and while the contracting officer and office are identified, no Contracting Officer’s Representative, payment office details, or accounting classification references are provided. Offeror representations regarding size status, socioeconomic certifications, or unique entity identifiers are absent; only CAGE codes for the two approved vendors are listed. The award is based on restricted competition due to technical exclusivity and safety-critical nature, with no indication of a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable or trade-off evaluation process.
