The delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the items to be issued to GA Telesis Composite Repair Group located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Department of Defense, through its Navsup Weapon Systems Support office in Philadelphia, intends to negotiate this contract exclusively with a single source due to insufficient or unclear data to procure this part from other suppliers. Although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, interested parties may express their interest or capability to respond, and any quotes submitted before the award date will be considered. This action reflects a presolicitation notice posted in May 2013, indicating the government’s discretionary right to forego competition based on received responses. The Government’s current information supports proceeding with the current source, emphasizing the specialized nature of the assembly and the critical need for repair or modification. The contract does not specify a set-aside type or NAICS code and is managed by a defense office responsible for weapon systems support, underscoring the strategic importance of the item within military supply chains.
