59--RESISTOR ASSEMBLY

The contract involves the procurement of 29 units of a resistor assembly, designated by NSN 1R-5905-015270499-WZ, with delivery terms set as FOB origin. The contract is intended to be issued to Honeywell International Inc., located in Minneapolis, MN. This procurement is classified as a sole-source negotiation, meaning the government intends to negotiate only with Honeywell International without soliciting competitive bids. However, the government has invited interested parties to express their interest and capability or submit quotes prior to the award date, although the government retains discretion over whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on these responses. This action stems from the government's determination that it lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to procure the item from any source other than the current supplier. The solicitation, identified by number SPM7AX06G0003GC03 and posted through the Department of Defense's Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office in Philadelphia, PA, is a presolicitation notice. It confirms that this is not a request for competitive quotes but rather an intent to negotiate a contract single-source. The solicitation does not indicate any specific socioeconomic or set-aside requirements and is primarily aimed at securing components critical to government operations.
