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

The contract involves the procurement of three units of a circuit card assembly for repair or modification, identified by NSN 7H-5998-015288345-GL with technical data package version 003. The delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the items to be issued to Lockheed Martin Corporation in Orlando, Florida. The government has issued a notice of intent not as a request for competitive quotes but to indicate their plan to negotiate with a single source due to constraints surrounding the data rights. The government does not own or have rights to the necessary technical data to acquire this part from other suppliers, and acquiring such rights or attempting to reverse engineer the component has been judged uneconomical. The solicitation, posted by the Department of Defense’s Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, reflects the government’s intent to potentially open dialogue with other interested parties, although final decisions on competition remain at the government’s discretion. Quotes submitted before the award date will be considered but this does not guarantee that competition will occur. The contract type is presolicitation, and no set-aside information or NAICS codes are specified, indicating a likely direct procurement from the original source or a designated provider who possesses proprietary rights vital for the repair or modification of the specified circuit card assemblies.
