58--PROCESSOR,SIGNAL DA

This contract involves the procurement of a single unit of a flight-critical signal processor part designated NSN 0R-5895-017091273-P8, with a reference number of 282423-04, to be delivered FOB origin. The design of this component is currently unstable, as engineering, manufacturing, and performance data indicate that the existing design objectives have not been fully achieved. Significant modifications are planned due to low process yields and marginal performance during testing or operational use, which will render the current version obsolete. Consequently, limited acquisition or repair from the current source is expected until the design is updated, and the item will require government approval of any new source prior to contract award because of its critical flight application and insufficient technical data to support open competition. Only previously approved sources are solicited, and potential new suppliers must submit detailed source approval information as specified by NAVSUP WSS to be considered. The procurement process emphasizes the importance of timely source approval, as delays could impact the ability to meet government requirements, although contract awards may proceed based on fleet support needs if approval processes are not completed in time. The solicitation is managed by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, with a response deadline of June 9, 2025, and interested parties can access further details through the provided links and contact the designated NAVSUP representative.
