J--MOTOR,ALTERNATING C, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of a single unit of an alternating current motor undergoing repair or modification, identified by NSN 7H-6105-015077254 and designated under TDP VER 001. The delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the item to be issued to ECI Defense Group Inc. located in Lyles, Tennessee. This contract represents a notice of intent rather than a solicitation for competitive quotes, indicating that the Government plans to negotiate with only one source due to the unique nature of the item and data restrictions. Interested parties may express interest or submit quotes before the award date, but the Government retains full discretion on whether to open the procurement to competition. The Government has determined it lacks the rights or ownership of the data necessary to source the part from alternative suppliers, making it uneconomical to acquire such data or to reverse engineer the component. The contract falls under the Department of Defense through the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. This pre-solicitation, posted in October 2017, serves mainly to gauge interest and capability, rather than to initiate a competitive procurement process, emphasizing the specialized and proprietary nature of the repair or modification service required for this motor.
