59--CROSSOVER ASSY

The NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) office in Mechanicsburg is conducting a sources sought notice to identify qualified contractors capable of manufacturing a specific item identified as NSN 7H 5998-01-625-6842 X5, P/N J42730-1, Crossover Assembly. The effort will include providing labor, materials, and facilities necessary for production. The government plans to negotiate and solicit from a single source under FAR 6.302-1, as it does not possess the data rights required to procure this part from multiple suppliers. Interested and responsible contractors are invited to express their interest and demonstrate their capabilities within 15 days from the publication date. This is not a solicitation for competitive proposals but a step for source identification and approval. The contract opportunity is managed by NAVSUP WSS, with the primary point of contact being LeeAnn Wisniski. The notice emphasizes that the government reserves the sole discretion to decide whether to pursue a competitive procurement after reviewing the responses and will proceed with contract award without delaying for source approval if necessary. The solicitation, posted in April 2016 with NAICS code 334412, is focused on acquiring this specialized crossover assembly, and all relevant responses will assist the government in determining the best path forward for procurement under the Department of Defense’s requirements.
