The contract involves the procurement of a single fluid valve component designated NSN 7H-4820-013173612, intended for repair or modification under TDP VER 001. The delivery terms specify FOB origin, with the item to be issued to Roll-Royce Marine North America located in Walpole, MA. This action is a notice of intent and not a competitive solicitation; the government plans to negotiate exclusively with one source due to proprietary constraints. The government recognizes that it does not own the necessary data or rights to the part and finds it uneconomical both to acquire those rights or to attempt reverse engineering the component. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense under the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mechanical office in Mechanicsburg, PA. Although this presolicitation allows interested parties to express interest or submit quotes, any decision against competitive procurement remains at the government’s discretion. Information gathered will primarily determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement, but no direct competition is currently intended. The solicitation was initially posted in early January 2016 and pertains specifically to technical and repair aspects of the fluid valve component.
