The contract involves the procurement of three units of a direct current motor, identified by NSN 7H-6105-014560169, for repair or modification purposes. The delivery terms specify FOB origin to General Dynamics Armament Systems in Burlington, Vermont. This is a non-competitive acquisition where the government intends to negotiate exclusively with a single source due to a lack of sufficient, accurate, or legible data to procure the part elsewhere. Although this notice allows interested parties to express interest or submit quotes, the government retains sole discretion to determine whether a competitive process will be pursued based on the responses received. The procurement falls under the oversight of the Department of Defense, specifically within the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The solicitation, posted in March 2009, is a presolicitation notice indicating the government’s intent to award without a competitive bidding process, reflecting the unique nature of the requirement and the specialized source needed to fulfill it. The notice also clarifies that information collected from interested parties will primarily help the government decide if broader competition should be considered, although it currently anticipates awarding the contract solely to the identified source.
