AI Contract Overview

The contract involves the supply and repair or modification of an inertial navigation system component, specifically identified by NSN 7R-6605-014444843-EX, with a quantity of 17 units to be delivered FOB origin to Northrop Grumman Guidance Co., Inc., in Woodland Hills, CA. The government is issuing a notice of intent to negotiate exclusively with the current approved source due to the critical nature and unstable design of this part. The part has shown marginal performance and low process yield, necessitating major design changes that will eventually obsolete the current configuration. Until these changes are implemented, limited acquisition from the approved source is expected to continue. The item is flight critical, and government source approval is required prior to contract award, thus restricting solicitations to previously government-approved vendors. Potential new sources interested in bidding must submit detailed technical data per NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support source approval brochures corresponding to their experience with similar items. Offers lacking complete source approval documentation will be excluded from consideration. The government retains discretion to proceed with a sole-source award if timely evaluation or approval of new sources is not feasible to meet operational demands. This procurement action is part of a presolicitation notice under solicitation number N0038312PG138, issued by the Department of Defense’s Navsup Weapon Systems Support office in Philadelphia, PA. It reflects a non-competitive negotiation intent due to the technical complexity and criticality of the item involved.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes and the proposed/contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to negotiate with only one source. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit quotes. Quotes received prior to the award date will be considered by the Government.A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The design of this part is unstable. Engineering, manufacturing, or performance characteristics indicate that the required design objectives have not been achieved. Major changes are contemplated because the part has a low process yield or has demonstrated marginal performance during tests or service use. These changes will render the present part obsolete and unusable in its present configuration. Limited acquisition from the present source is anticipated pending configuration changes. The subject item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, as the item is flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. Only the source(s) previously approved by the Government for this item have been solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. If you are not an approved source you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in one of the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures listed below. Spares: www.neco.navy.mil/sar.aspx Repair: www.neco.navy.mil/sarr.aspx These brochures identify the technical data required to be submitted based on your company's experience in production of the same or similar item, or if this is an item you have never made. If your request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVSUP WSS submit with your offer a copy of the cover letter which forwarded your request for source approval. Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or document previous submission of all data required by the Source Approval Brochure will not be considered for award under this solicitation.
