J--VALVE,REGULATING,FL, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

The contract involves the procurement of two units of the item identified as NSN 7H-4820-013608499, specifically a regulating valve intended for repair or modification purposes. The delivery terms are FOB Origin, and the supplies are to be issued directly to Honeywell International Inc. in Tempe, Arizona. This action is a notice of intent and not an invitation for competitive quotes, indicating the Government's intention to negotiate exclusively with a single source. However, interested parties may express their interest and capability to respond, and any quotes received before the award date will be considered. The Government’s decision to forgo competition will depend solely on responses to this notice, and the notification is primarily to assess the possibility of competitive procurement. The contract is managed by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanical office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, under solicitation number N0010404DD1005034 with the title referring to the regulating valve in the context of repair or modification. The Government presently lacks sufficient and reliable data to acquire the part from sources other than the current provider, which justifies the sole-source approach. The solicitation was announced in early 2006, and there are no set-aside provisions or specific NAICS codes associated with this presolicitation notice.
