53 -- Modification to contract SP0500-98-D-BP03, Industrial Prime Vendor support at NADEP-CP

This contract involves a modification to the existing Industrial Prime Vendor support contract, SP0500-98-D-BP03, specifically for benchstock hardware at the Naval Aviation Depot Cherry Point in North Carolina. The government plans to negotiate directly with the current contractor, Raytheon E-Systems, to extend the contract period by three months. This extension ensures the uninterrupted supply of critical materials until a new follow-on contract is established. The modification falls under NAICS code 332722, which pertains to precision turned product manufacturing. The sole source modification reflects the government's need to maintain continuous operational support for the depot while the next contract award process is underway. The contract specialist responsible for this action is Thomas A. Pawlowski, who can be contacted for further information. This extension maintains stability in supply chain operations without transitioning to a new contractor prematurely, preserving depot readiness and efficiency during this interim period.
