51--INSERTER AND REMOVE - AND OTHER REPLACEMENT PARTS

The Department of Defense’s NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Philadelphia office plans to solicit a sole source contract with AVIOSS LLC for the purchase of multiple hydraulic replacement parts, including inserter and remover components. The procurement involves six units each of four specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs), all of which are unique hydraulic components with no drawings or data readily available from other suppliers. AVIOSS LLC is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and is the only known source capable of providing repair support, as the government does not hold data rights that would allow purchases from alternative vendors. Although all responsible vendors may submit capability statements for consideration, the contract is expected to be awarded to the approved single source unless non-approved firms submit a Source Approval Request, which will not delay the procurement. This acquisition will utilize procedures in FAR Part 15 and will comply with Buy American clauses and Unique Identification (UID) requirements. The solicitation is anticipated to be posted electronically on NECO around March 19, 2026, with responses due by April 21, 2026, and an award expected by May 25, 2026. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, though the government is not currently treating the items as commercial under FAR Part 12, but remains open to commercial item offers within a specified comment period. Interested parties should direct inquiries or capability statements to the designated contracting officer via email, with no telephone or physical requests being accepted.
