The contract involves the procurement of three units of a centrifugal pump for repair or modification, identified by NSN 7H-4320-011495524 with a technical data package version 005. The delivery terms are FOB origin, with the items being issued to Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanics located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The government has issued a notice of intent that is not a request for competitive quotes, as it plans to negotiate directly with a single source supplier. However, interested parties may express their interest and capability or submit quotes prior to the award date, which the government will consider. Despite this, the decision not to open the procurement to competition is at the government’s discretion. The government does not own the proprietary data or rights necessary to procure this part from other sources. It has been assessed as uneconomical to acquire these rights or to reverse engineer the component. This is reflected in the solicitation number N0010417PCD81, posted by the Department of Defense’s Naval Supply Weapon Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The focus is strictly on repair or modification services for the centrifugal pump, and the procurement is treated as a presolicitation, with no set-aside or industry restrictions indicated.
