59--CABLE ASSEMBLY,SPEC

The Department of Defense, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, plans to acquire eight units of a specific cable assembly (NSN 0Q-5995-017261252-SX, Part Number 74D745185-1001) for support equipment via a sole source procurement with The Boeing Company, the original equipment manufacturer and sole provider of this part. The Government lacks the rights to the technical data necessary to procure the item elsewhere, making Boeing the exclusive source. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 15 provisions, with solicitation expected to be issued on April 14, 2026, and responses due by May 13, 2026, aiming for award on May 28, 2026. Although the Government intends to negotiate exclusively with Boeing under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), it invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements or proposals, which will be considered but are unlikely to result in a competitive procurement. This contract has a one-year performance period and falls under NAICS code 335931 with PSC 5995. It includes compliance with Unique Identification (UID) and Buy American clauses. No drawings or data are available for this part, and any manufacturer not currently approved must submit a Source Approval Request, though award will not be delayed pending approval. The Government’s market research did not support acquisition under the FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition procedures. The solicitation will be posted electronically via NECO, and no physical copies or telephone inquiries will be accepted. Interested parties should contact the designated contracting officer, Taylor M. Weidman, via email within 15 days of the notice to express interest or capability.
