J--ACTUATOR,MECHANICAL, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of seven mechanical actuators, identified by NSN 7H-3040-015183579, with technical data package version 005. The delivery terms are FOB origin, and the items are to be issued to Woodward Inc. located in Fort Collins, Colorado. This notice of intent clarifies that it is not a solicitation for competitive quotes but indicates the government's intention to negotiate exclusively with Woodward Inc. The government invites interested parties to express their interest or capability to fulfill the requirement; however, the decision to forgo competition rests entirely with the government. Any submitted quotes will be considered prior to award, but the government has determined that acquiring the necessary data rights or reverse engineering the part from other sources would be uneconomical. This procurement is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The contract pertains to repair or modification services for the mechanical actuator and is categorized as a presolicitation. There are no set-aside provisions or specified NAICS codes attached. The government does not possess ownership of the data or rights needed to purchase these parts from additional suppliers, underscoring its reliance on Woodward Inc. as the sole source for these items. This situation reflects a non-competitive, single-source procurement approach due to cost and technical constraints.
