43--PUMP, ROTARY, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of four units of a specific rotary pump (NSN 7H-4320-016727220, TDP VER 001) to be delivered FOB origin, meaning the government will take ownership once the items are shipped from the supplier's location. The government does not possess the data rights or the capability to purchase or repair this part from other sources, as acquiring such data or rights has been deemed uneconomical. Consequently, the contracting authority intends to negotiate solely with a designated source under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole-source procurement when only one responsible source is available or it is not cost-effective to obtain data or reverse engineer the part. While other responsible sources can express their interest and capability, the government is not requesting competitive proposals at this stage. Responses to this notice must be submitted within 30 to 45 days, depending on the issuance of the award under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement, and will be evaluated solely to determine if a competitive process should be pursued. The solicitation, posted by the Department of Defense's Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, is a presolicitation notice with no set-aside restrictions specified. Interested parties can contact Abigail R. Hurlbut via email or phone for further information. The procurement aims to support the repair or modification of the specified pump, with the government reserving the right to decide whether to proceed with competition based on the responses received.
