J--CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMB, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

This contract involves the procurement of five units of a specific circuit card assembly (NSN 7H-5998-014679447, TDP VER 002) intended for repair or modification purposes. The delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the items to be issued to Lockheed Martin Corporation located in Orlando, Florida. The Government has issued a notice of intent to negotiate solely with one source for these supplies, not soliciting competitive bids due to the unique nature of the data rights associated with the part. The Government has determined that acquiring the data or rights to produce the part from other sources is uneconomical, and reversing engineering is not a cost-effective option. The contract opportunity was posted as a presolicitation under the solicitation number N0010417PDE89 by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support office, part of the Department of Defense, based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. While the notice does invite interested parties to express their interest or submit quotes prior to award, any decision to compete the contract will be at the Government’s discretion and primarily aimed at determining if a competitive procurement is viable. This procurement addresses specialized repair or modification requirements within a Department of Defense context, emphasizing the sensitive data rights and limited source justification for the contract award.
