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

The contract involves the procurement of eight units of a specific circuit card assembly (NSN 7H-5998-015593588-GL, TDP VER 002) intended for repair or modification purposes. The delivery terms specify FOB origin, and the contract award is to be issued to Sechan Electronics Inc., located in Lititz, Pennsylvania. This is a sole-source acquisition, where the government intends to negotiate exclusively with Sechan Electronics due to the specialized nature of the item. The item must be sourced from a manufacturer identified on a source control or selected item drawing, as mandated by the current DoD standard (DoD-STD-100), because of unavailable technical data, government rights, or manufacturing knowledge that would preclude acquisition from alternative suppliers or qualification of different parts. The government has issued this notice of intent not as a solicitation for competitive quotes but to allow interested parties to express their interest or capability, though the government retains absolute discretion in deciding not to pursue a competitive procurement. The contract falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense, specifically the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The acquisition supports maintenance efforts by ensuring that the specific, limited-source circuit card assemblies are obtained from the authorized manufacturing source to maintain system integrity and performance.
