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

The contract pertains to the procurement of two units of a specific circuit card assembly identified by NSN 7H-5998-015049859-VN, version TDP 002, intended for repair or modification purposes. The delivery terms are FOB origin, with the items to be issued to Lockheed Martin Corporation located in Moorestown, New Jersey. This notice of intent is not a solicitation for competitive quotes but indicates the government’s intention to negotiate exclusively with a single source, given that this part must be acquired from a designated manufacturing source. Potential suppliers may express their interest or submit quotes for consideration prior to contract award; however, the government retains sole discretion to proceed without competition based on these responses. The decision to limit competition arises from the absence of suitable technical data, government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge that would allow qualification or use of alternative sources, as defined by DoD-STD-100. The contract is managed by the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office within the Department of Defense, located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. It was posted in late 2012 and classified as a presolicitation. The part is identified as an altered or selected item, and although such items generally require an adequate technical data package, in this case, the government does not possess the necessary data or rights and acquiring them economically is not feasible. Therefore, this contract ensures that the government secures the required items from the sole qualified source to maintain integrity and compliance with required standards.
