66--TRANSDUCER,AIR DATA, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

This contract pertains to the procurement and repair/modification of a flight-critical air data transducer, NSN 7R-6610-011318697-LU, with a quantity of 25 units to be delivered FOB origin. The item requires strict engineering source approval by the Government’s design control activity to ensure quality due to its unique design, specialized manufacturing, and repair knowledge that reside with currently approved sources only. These sources hold proprietary technical data rights and expertise that are not economically accessible to the Government, necessitating restricted acquisition from approved manufacturers, primarily ROSEMOUNT INC. and SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORP. Alternate sources must undergo a rigorous qualification process as dictated by the Government engineering authority, which controls source approval prior to contract award. Due to the critical nature of the item and limitations on technical data, full and open competition is restricted, and only proposals from approved or potentially qualifying sources accompanied by detailed source approval data will be considered. The contract utilizes FAR Part 15 procedures under FAR Part 12 for acquisition of commercial items and invites expressions of interest from capable commercial sources within 15 days of the notice, though actual award will be limited to qualified sources due to the specialized nature of the product and long lead time for source approval. Non-approved sources must submit comprehensive technical data as outlined by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support source approval brochures, and any proposals lacking required source approval documentation will be rejected. The Government emphasizes that should source approval delays arise, awards may proceed with existing suppliers to meet operational fleet needs. The contracting office responsible is located in Philadelphia, PA, with a response deadline set for January 23, 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the designated point of contact for qualification requirements and further information.
