The notice clarifies this is not a request for competitive proposals, and any decision to compete the contract based on responses is at the Government's discretion.

This is a U.S. Navy procurement for the manufacture and delivery of a semiconductor rectifier, which must be mercury-free for use on submarines and surface ships. The contractor is responsible for all quality assurance and inspection, with records maintained for 365 days after final delivery. A one-year warranty from the date of delivery is required. If the bidder is not the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), they must provide proof of authorized distribution. The resultant contract will be a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS).
