SPRPA1-26-Q-RB26

The contract involves procurement of one unit of antenna NSN 7R-5985-015731112-CB under a sole-source justification due to the unavailability of sufficient technical data, economic feasibility, or the ability to draft adequate specifications for competitive bidding. The item is classified as flight critical, requiring prior Government source approval before award, and only previously approved sources have been solicited. New sources must submit detailed documentation per NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support brochures detailing their production experience with similar items or previous approval requests, and failure to provide complete information will disqualify proposals. Time constraints prevent delaying award for new source approval, and the Government may proceed based on fleet support needs if approval cannot be finalized promptly. The procurement is conducted under FAR 6.302-1 as a justifiable single-source action, with no intent to compete, though all interested parties may submit capability statements within 45 days, or 30 days if under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. Commercial item submissions are accepted within 15 days, though FAR Part 12 policies are not being applied. Technical documentation for reference may be obtained via ASSIST-Online or DODSSP, though design-related materials like drawings and patterns are not available through those channels. The contracting office is the DLA Aviation in Philadelphia with Malcolm Fils listed as the primary point of contact, and responses are due by May 26, 2026.
