J--BEARING, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of two units of a specific bearing identified as NSN 7H-3110-011296568, related to repair or modification activities. The delivery terms are FOB origin, with the equipment to be issued to Curtiss-Wright Electro Mechanical in Cheswick, Pennsylvania. This action is a notice of intent rather than a request for competitive quotes, indicating the Government plans to negotiate exclusively with one source due to restrictions on data rights, which prevent acquiring the parts from multiple suppliers or reverse engineering. The procurement is managed by the Naval Supply Weapons Systems Support Mechanical office within the Department of Defense, located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Although the Government is open to receiving expressions of interest or quotes prior to the award date, any decision not to pursue competition lies solely at the Government’s discretion. The effort is categorized under presolicitation and does not specify set-aside status or NAICS codes, emphasizing the unique nature of the bearing and challenges in sourcing it competitively.
