J--BATTERY BOX, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the acquisition of a single battery box unit identified by NSN 7G-6160-013203312, with a technical data package version 004, to be delivered FOB origin to Palomar Products Inc. in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. This procurement is a notice of intent reflecting the Government's plan to negotiate directly with one source rather than compete among multiple vendors. While interested parties may express their capability to meet the requirement or submit quotations before the award, the Government retains discretion to proceed with sole-source negotiation based on those responses. The contract is related to the repair or modification of the battery box and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The Government does not hold data rights necessary to purchase the item from other sources, has found it uneconomical to acquire such rights or to reverse engineer the part, and thus has justified the sole-source approach. This action is intended to support the Government’s needs efficiently while considering vendor capabilities and response information without engaging in a competitive procurement process.
