The contract entails the procurement of five units of a circuit card assembly requiring repair or modification, identified by the NSN 7H-5998-004126417-GL, with a technical data package version 002. The items are to be delivered FOB origin to W R Systems Ltd located in Fairfax, Virginia. This notice of intent specifies that the Government plans to negotiate exclusively with one source and is not soliciting competitive quotes. However, interested parties may express their capability or submit quotations prior to the award date, which the Government will consider for determining whether to pursue a competitive procurement. The Government currently lacks sufficient or accurate data to source this part from other suppliers, underscoring the sole-source nature of this action. Issued by the Department of Defense’s Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, the contract is classified as a presolicitation with no set-aside designation. The solicitation number is N0010412PDF93, posted on August 8, 2012. The notice underlines that the decision to forego competition is at the Government’s discretion, and responses are used primarily to assess the possibility of opening the procurement to competition. This underscores the specialized and possibly proprietary nature of the circuit card assembly repair or modification service sought under this contract.
