59--NSN 5975 014759070

DLA Aviation Philadelphia is seeking qualified contractors capable of providing the labor, materials, and facilities necessary to manufacture an electrical chassis (NSN 5975 014579070, P/N 129020-59B) used on F/A-18 non-HSP Support Fighter Aircraft. This Sources Sought Notice indicates the Government’s intention to procure this item through a limited competition or potentially from a single source under FAR 6.302-1, as the Government currently lacks the data to manufacture the item internally. Interested and responsible sources are invited to express their interest and submit capability statements within 15 days of the notice to be considered. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, responses may influence whether the Government moves forward with competition. Only approved sources will be solicited for the subsequent contract, and source approval may be required. Since the Government cannot delay the award pending source approval, contractors not already approved must submit the necessary documentation per the Source Approval Information Brochure for Spares. Additional details for submitting source approval requests are available through the Navy’s SUPPLY website. This procurement falls under NAICS code 336413, relating to aerospace product and parts manufacturing, and is managed by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office, located in Philadelphia. The point of contact for this acquisition is Shawn Frank.
