RECORDER,SIGNAL DAT — 5895017316503 — N0038326QSA89

The government intends to award a sole-source contract for two units of a flight-critical signal data recorder requiring repair or modification, identified by NSN 7R-5895-017316503-RQ and reference number B001213V05079-11, under FAR 6.302-1 due to the absence of commercially viable or technically adequate specifications that would support full and open competition. Delivery is FOB origin, and only previously government-approved sources have been solicited, as the technical data necessary to support competitive acquisition is unavailable, not economically obtainable, or insufficiently documented. Any non-approved vendor wishing to respond must submit complete source approval documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support brochures for spares or repair, including evidence of prior experience with identical or similar items, and must already have an active source approval request under evaluation at NAVSUP WSS, accompanied by proof of submission. Failure to provide all required data will disqualify the proposal, and no award will be withheld if delays in source approval would compromise Fleet operational needs. This procurement is not a competitive solicitation, and responses received within 45 days of the posting date—or within 30 days if under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement—will be evaluated solely to determine whether competition is feasible. The government retains full discretion to proceed with sole-source award regardless of responses. The acquisition is subject to the Buy American Act and Free Trade Agreements, including DFARS clauses 252.225-7036 and 252.225-7021, though FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition policies are not being applied. Interested parties have 15 days to notify the contracting officer if they can supply a commercial item meeting requirements. The contracting office is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with point of contact Carmelena C. Oldroyd, and the response deadline is June 29, 2026. The NAICS code is 334511, and the acquisition falls under the Department of Defense, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support.
