Mc Master-Carr hardware

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona, through its Product Engineering Code PE23, is seeking to acquire hardware from Mc Master-Carr for use in the Griffin Launcher Manufacturing Project. The government plans to award this procurement as a sole-source, firm fixed-price contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, meaning only Mc Master-Carr will be solicited and negotiated with for this requirement. The acquisition is treated as a commercial item following FAR Part 12 guidelines, and no formal solicitation will be issued. However, interested parties may submit inquiries or capability statements to the provided contact but this notice does not constitute a request for competitive quotes or proposals. The contract opportunity is identified under solicitation number N6339412T5143 and falls within the NAICS code 332510, which relates to metalworking machinery manufacturing. The contracting office is located in Port Hueneme, California, under the Department of Defense command. Although the announcement invites identification of interest and capability submissions, the government emphasizes its intent to conduct negotiations exclusively with Mc Master-Carr for this procurement action. This approach aims to facilitate the timely acquisition of necessary hardware components for the ongoing manufacturing project without competitive bidding.
