The contract involves the procurement of six units of a specific supply item identified by NSN 7H-4810-011769748, described as a linear direct valve undergoing repair or modification. The delivery terms are FOB origin, with Honeywell International Inc. in Tempe, Arizona designated as the sole recipient. This contract is a notice of intent rather than a solicitation for competitive quotes, with the Government expressing intention to negotiate exclusively with Honeywell. Interested parties may express their interest and capability to respond, but the Government retains the sole discretion in deciding whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on these responses. This procurement arises from the Government’s determination that it is neither economical to acquire the data rights or ownership required to produce the item from additional sources, nor to reverse engineer the part. The contract details indicate it is managed by the Department of Defense’s Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support office based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The solicitation number is N0010407PCP13, posted in March 2007, and is classified as a presolicitation notice. This contract reflects a non-competitive approach due to proprietary data restrictions and cost considerations.
