NIIN: 016230912/NOMEN: RECEIVER TRANSMITTERThe Department of Defense, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, intends to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin for the repair of a specific Receiver Transmitter unit identified by part number 300A380-3 and NIIN 016230912. This procurement will be carried out under NAICS code 336413 and FSC code 1680. Since there are no drawings or data available and the government does not own data rights to this component, Lockheed Martin is anticipated to be the only capable source to perform the repair. The contract will be issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement, and other firms wishing to compete must submit a Source Approval Request, although approval will not delay the procurement process. The government plans to solicit and negotiate this repair using FAR Part 15 provisions rather than FAR Part 12, based on market research indicating the specialized nature of the repair. While this is a sole source action, the government invites any interested parties to submit capability statements or proposals within 35 days, which will be reviewed to determine if competition is feasible. Responses must be submitted electronically via NECO, and no phone or hard copy requests will be entertained. The point of contact for this solicitation is Kate N. Schalck, who can be reached via email for submission or inquiries. The response deadline is June 16, 2026.

16--REGULATOR,OXYGEN,DIThis contract pertains to the procurement of 40 units of an oxygen regulator (NSN 7R-1660-015303496-FZ) with delivery terms FOB origin. It represents a follow-on request for proposal (RFP SPRPA1-26-C-YC01) after the cancellation of a previous solicitation, maintaining the same requirement under procurement request number N0038325X1607. Due to the specialized nature of the part, which is flight critical and requires engineering source approval by the design control activity, only previously government-approved sources with unique design capabilities, manufacturing knowledge, and retained technical data are eligible for consideration. The data and expertise needed to maintain quality are not commercially available, so new sources must undergo rigorous qualification procedures approved by the government engineering activity to be considered. The contract action is conducted under a non-competitive procurement strategy per FAR 6.302-1, though all responsible sources may submit expressions of interest or proposals within 45 days for consideration. Prospective bidders not already approved as sources must provide extensive technical data in accordance with NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support source approval brochures to be considered. Timeliness of source approval is critical; if new source qualification cannot be completed before government requirements, awards may proceed with existing sources to meet fleet support needs. The government is not applying commercial item acquisition policies for this solicitation, emphasizing the technical and critical nature of the item. The contracting office overseeing this action is located at DLA Aviation in Philadelphia, PA, with a designated point of contact for inquiries. Access to relevant military specifications and standardized documents is facilitated through government repositories, ensuring compliance and proper evaluation of technical qualifications.
