J--AMPLIFIER-FREQUENCY, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of five amplifier-frequency units, identified by NSN 7H-5820-014856671 and governed under TDP version 002, for repair or modification purposes. The delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the items being issued to Teledyne Defense Electronics, LLC located in Mountain View, California. This procurement is structured as a sole-source negotiation, reflecting the Government's intent to award the contract without a competitive bidding process due to the exclusive ownership of data rights by the contractor and the uneconomical nature of acquiring those rights or attempting to reverse engineer the part. The notice, issued by the Department of Defense through the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanic office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, allows interested parties to submit expressions of interest or quotes prior to award; however, evaluation of these responses is discretionary and primarily aimed at determining the feasibility of competition. The contract’s solicitation number is N0010420PNB47, posted in June 2020, and the point of contact for queries is Boyd B. Brandt. This contract underscores the specialized and proprietary nature of the equipment and the Government’s logistical approach in managing repair or modification needs for critical defense components.
