59--AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of five amplifier assembly units under NSN 7R-5996-012489236-EE with technical data package version 001, designated for repair or modification. Delivery terms specify FOB origin, with shipments to be sent to Rockwell Collins Inc. located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This is a sole-source intended negotiation, meaning the government plans to contract directly with Rockwell Collins without competitive bidding. However, the notice allows other interested parties to express their capability and submit quotes prior to the award, which the government may consider to determine whether a competitive process is necessary. The government currently lacks sufficient or legible data to source the part elsewhere, justifying the single-source approach. The contract is issued by the Department of Defense through the Navsup Weapon Systems Support office based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is categorized as a presolicitation, indicating that it is in the early stage of acquisition before formal solicitation. The primary point of contact for this contract is Tia Johnson, who can be reached via phone or email for inquiries. Overall, this contract focuses on a specialized military repair/modification service for amplifier assemblies with a clear preference for an established supplier due to unique technical and logistical considerations.
