The U.S. Navy’s NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia is proceeding with a sole-source procurement for 18 electrical cords, part number 06600-00839-110 and NSN 1R-6145-016986237-H5, under authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302, due to the exclusive nature of the item and the government’s lack of ownership or rights to the data required to source it elsewhere. The delivery term is FOB origin, and the acquisition will be conducted through the existing Basic Ordering Agreement N00383-26-G-P401 with Sikorsky, as no alternative suppliers can meet the requirement. All responsible entities may submit capability statements, but only Sikorsky is anticipated to provide an acceptable offer, and no competition will be pursued unless compelling contrary evidence arises. Any firm not already approved to manufacture the item must submit a Source Approval Request, though the procurement will not be delayed for such approvals. The acquisition will follow FAR Part 15 procedures, excluding commercial item policies under FAR Part 12 due to the custom, non-commercial nature of the item. The solicitation is not a small business set-aside and will be managed electronically through NECO, with no hard copies or phone requests accepted. Submissions of qualifications must be sent via email to the designated point of contact by the September 18, 2026 deadline, and responses received within 45 days of the synopsis posting may be considered for future competitive intent assessments.
