TRANSMITTER TEMPERA, NSN: 6685-01-668-9085UJ, PN: 1960M40P05, ALT PN: 0704AP5

This contract entails a sole-source acquisition for 13 units, with an option range of 3 to 20 units, of a Critical Safety Item known as the Transmitter Temp (NSN 6685-01-668-9085UJ, PN 0704AP5) used in the F118-101A aircraft engine. The procurement is conducted by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation office at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with performance located in Burnsville, Minnesota, and delivery required at Tinker AFB by January 30, 2026. Rosemount Aerospace, Inc. is identified as the sole qualified source under FAR 6.302, justifying a noncompetitive acquisition due to the specialized nature of the item and unique source qualification. The item is critical for safety, requiring precise dimensional and material specifications and adherence to strict quality and performance standards. The contract requires permanent Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking in compliance with MIL-STD-130 to ensure traceability, and the Transmitter Temp must be delivered fully marked including NSN, part number, and CAGE code. Proposals must be submitted electronically solely via SAM.gov by December 24, 2025, with no standard FAR clauses or pricing data included in the presolicitation. The government assumes funding contingent upon appropriated funds and will not accept liability without written funding confirmation. An Ombudsman has been appointed to confidentially address contractor concerns during proposal submission. Inspection and acceptance are government-administered, likely at the delivery location, though detailed quality inspection criteria are not explicitly provided beyond the Critical Safety Item designation. This procurement emphasizes technical acceptability and risk mitigation, with delivery and performance tightly constrained by schedule and critical safety requirements.
