58--CONTROL,INTERCOMMUN, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

This contract involves the procurement of 54 units of a control intercommunication part, identified by NSN 0R-5831-016902235-QE and designated TDP Version 004, with delivery terms FOB Origin. The part’s design is currently unstable, exhibiting performance and manufacturing issues that have prevented meeting required design objectives. Significant modifications are planned to address low process yield and marginal performance, meaning the existing version will become obsolete and unusable once changes are implemented. Due to the part's flight-critical nature and insufficient available technical data, acquisition is restricted to previously Government-approved sources. New sources must obtain government approval through submission of detailed technical data as outlined in specific NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochures, and proposals lacking this information will not be considered. Limited acquisition or repair from current sources may continue while new configurations are developed. Solicitations will be conducted as sole-source based on FAR 6.302-1 authority, targeting only approved suppliers, with responses accepted for 45 days (or 30 days if under an existing BOA). Interested suppliers may still express interest and capability, but award will be contingent upon meeting qualification requirements at the time of contract award per FAR regulations. The Government is not using commercial item acquisition policies for this procurement, reflecting its specialized nature. Additional information, including requirements for qualification and source approval submissions, can be obtained from the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office in Philadelphia, PA. The contract emphasizes the criticality of timely source approval to meet fleet support needs and specifies the procedures and resources available for obtaining necessary military and federal specifications.
