Repair of NIIN 016504230; Nomen: RDP

The Department of Defense, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, plans to sole source a contract to Lockheed Martin for the repair of two units identified by NSN 7R5841016504230 and part number FM300A381-0051, designated as RDP. Lockheed Martin is the original equipment manufacturer and the only known source capable of supporting these parts, as the government does not possess the drawings or rights to procure these items from other suppliers. While the government intends to limit negotiations to this sole source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302, it remains open to considering capability statements or proposals from other responsible sources within 45 days for market research purposes. However, this procurement is not a competitive solicitation nor a small business set-aside. The contract will be executed using FAR Part 15 procedures and is intended for electronic solicitation, with the request for proposals posted via the NECO system and no hard copies distributed. Interested parties may submit qualifications by email to the designated point of contact. The government emphasizes that only approved manufacturers are expected bidders, though unapproved sources may submit a Source Approval Request, which will not delay the procurement process. This sole-source action underscores the unique position of Lockheed Martin as the only supplier capable of fulfilling the repair requirements for this specialized equipment.
