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

The contract involves the procurement of six units of a circuit card assembly (NSN 7G-5998-015175298, TDP version 002), designated for repair or modification purposes. The delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the items to be issued to L-3 Communications Corp located in San Diego, California. This procurement is conducted under a sole-source basis, meaning the government intends to negotiate exclusively with one manufacturer due to the specialized nature of the part and the lack of available technical data or government rights to allow acquisition from alternative sources. The item is controlled by specific source control regulations as per DoD-STD-100, and although technical data packages are generally required, in this case, such data or rights are insufficient or unavailable, restricting competition. The notice clarifies that this is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, but interested parties may express their interest or submit quotes prior to the contract award date for consideration. The government retains full discretion in deciding whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on the information received. The contracting agency is the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, representing the Department of Defense. The contract was publicly posted as a presolicitation in early 2014, with no specified NAICS code or set-aside designation, reflecting its highly specialized nature and limited acquisition sources.
