59--CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMB

The Department of Defense’s NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia is planning to procure 24 units of a specific aircraft circuit card assembly from The Boeing Company, which is the sole manufacturer and original equipment supplier for this part. This procurement is on a sole source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302, as no alternative sources or data are available for this component. The contract will be awarded for a duration of one year, with the government expecting to issue the solicitation around January 10, 2025, and aiming for an award by February 25, 2025. The acquisition will adhere to Buy American clauses, UID requirements, and FAR Part 15 procedures, with electronic submission via NECO. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements or proposals within 45 days of the solicitation posting, although the procurement is not open to competition and is not a small business set-aside. Firms not already approved to manufacture the part must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR), but the procurement will proceed without delay for SAR approval. The solicitation emphasizes that the government does not own the data necessary to purchase from other sources and that the award will likely be made to The Boeing Company. All correspondence and capability submissions should be directed via email to the designated contracting officer.
