The contract involves the procurement of 32 units of an electro-mechanical actuator (NSN 7H-4810-014817198, TDP VER 002) intended for repair or modification, with delivery terms set as FOB origin. The Government does not own or possess the rights to the data necessary for contracting repair services from additional sources and has deemed it uneconomical to acquire such data or to reverse engineer the part. Consequently, the procurement will proceed under a sole-source justification as authorized by FAR 6.302-1, with intent to solicit and negotiate exclusively with one source, although interested parties may express their capability to meet the requirement within 45 days (or 30 days if under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The Government retains discretion over whether to pursue a competitive procurement following receipt of responses, relying on market research that excludes the use of FAR Part 12 policies for acquisition of commercial items. The contract is issued by the Department of Defense, specifically through the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mechanical office located in Mechanicsburg, PA. It is subject to applicable trade agreements including the Buy American Act, Free Trade Agreements, and the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement, as indicated by the inclusion of relevant DFARS clauses. Communications regarding this opportunity should be directed to Lamar R. Crummel. The offer period ends on February 24, 2026, with further details accessible via the government’s contracting portal. This notice serves primarily to gauge market interest and capability rather than a definitive request for competitive proposals.
