This notice of intent signals the Government’s plan to negotiate exclusively with a single source rather than soliciting competitive bids, although interested parties may submit quotes or express their interest prior to the award date. The decision not to pursue competition is at the Government’s discretion and is based on the lack of sufficient, accurate, or legible data from other potential suppliers. This acquisition falls under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The solicitation was posted as a presolicitation notice on April 18, 2014, and is intended for repair or modification services of the centrifugal pump.
