J--TUNER,RADIO FREQUEN, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of six radio frequency tuners, specifically identified by NSN 7H-5821-014939626, version TDP 002. The delivery terms are FOB origin, with the items to be issued to General Dynamics Information Technology in Needham, Massachusetts. This procurement is part of the Department of Defense's Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mechanic office activities and is handled through a pre-solicitation notice dated May 26, 2009. The government intends to negotiate directly with a single source and is not soliciting competitive quotes; however, parties interested in demonstrating capability or submitting quotes may respond prior to award consideration. The government notes that it lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to source this part from other suppliers, which justifies the sole-source negotiation approach. Responses from interested parties will primarily inform whether a competitive procurement will be pursued, though the government reserves discretion over that decision. The contract emphasizes that this notice is not a request for competition but serves as an opportunity for interested vendors to express interest or capabilities. The contract is associated with modifications or repairs to radio frequency tuning equipment, linked to the defense sector and supported by the Navsup Weapon Systems Support office based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
