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

The contract involves the supply of four circuit card assemblies identified by NSN 7H-5998-014346031-VN, aligned with TDP version 005 and reference number 13222679-01, to be delivered FOB origin to General Dynamics Advanced in Bloomington, Minnesota. This notice of intent indicates that the Government plans to negotiate exclusively with a single source for these items rather than seeking competitive quotes, although interested parties may express their interest and submit quotes by the award date for consideration. The Government's decision to forego competition is based on the lack of sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase the parts from suppliers other than the current source, making this a sole-source acquisition. The procurement is managed by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, under a presolicitation notice posted in September 2010 for repair or modification services related to the circuit card assemblies. There is no set-aside designation or specific NAICS code indicated, and the solicitation emphasizes that information received will primarily inform the decision on conducting competitive procurement. The contract reflects the Government's intent to maintain continuity and reliability in obtaining critical components through an existing qualified supplier.
