J--BLADE,COMPRESSOR,AI, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of 252 units of a compressor airfoil blade (NSN 7H-2840-015217940) for repair or modification, with technical data package version 003 as per reference KI57G02. Delivery terms are FOB origin, and the items are to be issued to Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corporation located in Carson City, Nevada. This procurement is being handled as a negotiated sole-source action, meaning the government intends to contract directly with one supplier without a competitive bidding process. However, the government is open to receiving information from other parties interested in fulfilling the requirement before the award date, which will be considered solely to determine if a competitive procurement should be conducted. The contract solicitation, identified as N0010412PCD91, was posted on January 20, 2012, and managed by the Department of Defense’s NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. It is classified as a presolicitation notice. The government currently lacks sufficient accurate data to obtain this part from suppliers other than the existing source, underscoring the rationale for the sole-source approach. The notice explicitly states that the decision not to compete the contract is at the government’s discretion and that any information submitted by interested parties will be used to decide if competitive procurement is warranted.
