43--COMPRESSOR UNIT,REC

The contract involves the procurement of eight units of a specific compressor part, identified by NSN 7H-4310-013536128-A2, TDP Version 001, with reference number D2149, delivered FOB origin. The government does not possess the data rights or the necessary data to purchase or repair this part from other sources, as acquiring such data or rights is deemed uneconomical. Consequently, reverse engineering the part is also considered uneconomical. Interested parties can access relevant military and federal specifications, standards, and other standardized documents through the DoD Single Stock Point (DODSSP) or ASSIST-Online, with instructions provided for obtaining these documents. The procurement may be subject to trade agreements, including the Buy American Act, Free Trade Agreements, and the WTO Government Procurement Agreement, depending on the inclusion of specific DFARS clauses in the solicitation. The government intends to negotiate solely with one source under FAR 6.302-1, but it remains open to responsible sources expressing their interest and capability within 45 days of the notice. This is not a competitive solicitation, and responses will be used primarily to determine whether to proceed with a competitive process. The procurement does not follow FAR Part 12 policies for commercial items, but interested parties can submit capability statements if they believe they can meet the requirements with commercial solutions. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, PA, with a designated point of contact for inquiries.
