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

The contract involves the procurement of three units of a circuit card assembly under the identifier NSN 7H-5998-015287162-VN, with the technical data package version 001. Delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the items to be issued to Lockheed Martin Corporation in Orlando, Florida. This contract is a sole-source negotiation, as the Government intends to negotiate exclusively with Lockheed Martin, citing that the Government does not possess the necessary data rights to procure the part from other sources. Additionally, acquiring the data or rights or attempting to reverse engineer the part has been deemed uneconomical. The notice, posted by the Department of Defense’s Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, indicates this is a presolicitation action rather than a competitive solicitation. The Government may consider quotes from interested parties received before the award date, but the decision whether to pursue competitive procurement remains at the Government’s discretion. This procurement supports the repair or modification of the specified circuit card assembly and falls under a non-competitive, sole-source acquisition strategy due to data rights and economic considerations.
