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

The contract involves the procurement of six units of a circuit card assembly for repair or modification, identified by NSN 7H-5998-014718411-GL and TDP version 003. Delivery terms are FOB origin, with the items to be issued to Lockheed Martin Corporation in Orlando, Florida. This procurement is a planned sole-source negotiation, meaning the government intends to negotiate only with one supplier due to the unique nature of the requirement and the lack of alternative sources. Although the notice is not a request for competitive quotes, interested parties may express their interest and capability, with any quotes received prior to award considered as part of the decision process. However, the decision not to compete the contract further remains at the government’s discretion. The government has determined that acquiring data rights or reverse engineering to open the procurement to additional suppliers is uneconomical, which limits competition on this contract. The solicitation originates from the Department of Defense’s Navsup Weapon Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The contract aligns with the objective of ensuring continued support and maintenance of specialized circuit card assemblies critical to defense operations, reflecting the need for a specific vendor already in possession of the necessary technical data or proprietary information to fulfill the contract requirements efficiently.
