20--HUB,PROPELLER,SHIP

This contract involves a sole source acquisition of a commercial off-the-shelf HUB, PROPELLER, SHIP under FAR 13.5, justified due to the absence of viable alternatives, with the item identified by NSN 2010-01-248-0378 and part number 115752001 LH, manufactured by a supplier with CAGE code 012480378. The Justification and Approval authorizes an exception to fair opportunity based on A/RMC authority recognizing this as a second or subsequent procurement directly from the original manufacturer, where reverse engineering or seeking alternate sources is deemed economically impractical. The procurement is administered by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, with delivery and performance required in Walpole, Massachusetts by September 10, 2027, and no competition is planned unless a viable alternative emerges. Although no specific pricing, quantities, or line-item details are provided in the documentation, a cost analysis has been conducted, and the contract is expected to be firm-fixed price. The acquisition relies entirely on commercial standards and vendor compliance rather than military specifications, with no explicit references to MIL-STDs such as 129, 130, or 2073 for packaging, marking, or preservation, and no detailed inspection, acceptance, or quality criteria beyond internal design protocols and approved testing procedures. The government retains responsibility for inspection and acceptance at the Walpole delivery site, with contract administration handled by a designated PCO, COTR, and legal review team. No formal representations or certifications from the offeror regarding small business status or socioeconomic designations are included, though a Small Business Coordination Record (DD Form 2579) was reviewed and approved. All submissions must be made through SAM.gov by the deadline of February 24, 2026, and the contract value remains unspecified pending final negotiation, with an option clause noted but without defined terms. The entire proceeding complies with FAR 6.304 and DFARS PGI 212.102, emphasizing procedural legitimacy over competitive evaluation.
