J--PRE/POSTSELECTOR, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of three units of a component identified by NSN 7G-5915-015056106, specifically a "J--PRE/POSTSELECTOR, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF," with a Technical Data Package version 001. The delivery terms are FOB origin, with the items to be issued to Harris Corporation located in Rochester, New York. This acquisition is a sole-source negotiation, as the government does not hold the data rights necessary to purchase the part from other suppliers and has determined that acquiring such rights or reverse engineering the part would be uneconomical. The solicitation was posted by the Department of Defense’s Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, on November 20, 2015. Though this is a notice of intent rather than a request for competitive quotes, interested parties are invited to express their capability or submit quotes, which the government may consider before awarding the contract. However, the government reserves the right to proceed with non-competitive acquisition at its sole discretion, primarily to assess whether competition is feasible. The procurement is aligned with specialized defense requirements, emphasizing a direct negotiation strategy due to the uniqueness and proprietary nature of the item.
