The contract involves the procurement of three units of a centrifuge pump (NSN 7H-4320-010253828, TDP VER 007) for repair or modification, with delivery terms specified as FOB origin. The intended recipient of the delivery is Crane Pumps & Systems Inc. located in Piqua, Ohio. This acquisition is a sole-source action, meaning the government plans to negotiate exclusively with the current supplier due to insufficient data to enable procurement from alternative sources. Although this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, interested parties may express their interest or submit quotes prior to award; however, any decision not to open competition rests solely with the government. Information gathered will generally assist in determining whether competition should be pursued in future procurements. The contracting agency is the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, operating under the Department of Defense. This sourcing action was initially posted on December 6, 2011, as a presolicitation with no specific socioeconomic set-aside indicated. The government emphasizes that the lack of sufficient or accurate data to purchase this pump from other sources justifies the sole-source nature of this procurement, reflecting a need for specialized equipment repair or modification where continuity with the original supplier is critical.
