This is a notice of intent to negotiate a sole-source contract for 67 units of a specific part, with delivery to DLA Distribution centers in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania and Tracy, California. The government cannot competitively procure this item because it does not own the necessary technical data rights, and obtaining them has been deemed uneconomical. While the government intends to negotiate with only one source, it will consider capability statements from other interested parties.
