70--INTERFACE UNIT,DATA, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OFThis procurement involves the acquisition of 13 units of a specific interface data unit classified under NSN 0R-7025-017061785-H1, with delivery terms FOB origin. The current design of the part is unstable and fails to meet required engineering and performance objectives, leading to anticipated major design changes that will obsolete the current configuration. Because the part is flight critical and the technical data is insufficient for open competition, the government requires source approval prior to contract award. Only previously approved sources have been solicited, and any potential offerors who are not approved must submit detailed technical data as outlined in NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures to be considered. Approval processes are time-sensitive, and lack of timely approval may result in awards continuing with existing suppliers to meet urgent fleet needs. This contract action is planned under limited competition authority, specifically FAR 6.302-1, with the government inviting responsible parties to express interest or submit proposals within 45 days, or 30 days if issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. The solicitation excludes acquisition under FAR Part 12 for commercial items but recognizes the applicability of Free Trade Agreements and related trade compliance clauses. Award depends on meeting all qualification requirements at the time of award. The contracting office is NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support based in Philadelphia, PA, with point of contact provided for further information. Military specification documents and related standards are accessible through designated government online portals and support offices for bidders’ reference.

AN/AP-68V9 Radar DMSMS Study - Phase II ResolutionThe Department of Defense, through the F-16 System Program Office at Hill Air Force Base, is conducting market research via a sources sought synopsis to identify capable small business sources for Phase II of the AN/APG-68(V)9 Radar Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) program. This phase focuses on resolving obsolescence issues identified in a prior study on critical Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) within the radar's Modular Receiver/Exciter and Common Radar Processor assemblies. The objective is to replace obsolete components while maintaining form, fit, and function compatibility to ensure future manufacturability and reparability. The effort will proceed as a task order under an existing post-production sustainment contract with Northrop Grumman Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer holding proprietary technical data needed for this work. Interested vendors, particularly small businesses including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned categories, are invited to respond with their capability statements, experience with DMSMS efforts, understanding of related cybersecurity requirements, relationships with Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin, and potential teaming arrangements. Key requirements include project management, engineering redesign, prototype fabrication of two engineering development units for each of nine SRUs, and functional testing with qualification plans. Deliverables encompass prototype hardware retained at the contractor site, several engineered data documents, and a proposal to support the subsequent production phase. Responses are voluntary and intended solely for acquisition planning, with submissions due by the end of June 2026.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) plans to negotiate a sole source purchase order with ThermoFisher Scientific FEI Company for the service maintenance agreement of specific Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), including the SEM FEG QUANTA and Quanta 450 models along with the Nav-Cam 450.

Replacement parts must be OEM specified to ensure proper function, and no alternative suppliers are recognized as capable of fulfilling these specialized service requirements based on NETL’s market research. This notice serves as an intent to award rather than a solicitation for proposals or quotes, though any other interested parties who believe they can meet the maintenance requirements may submit evidence of their capability by the deadline, 5:00 PM ET on May 21, 2026. Responses must be submitted in writing to the designated contracting specialist, Arturo Manantan, via email.
