The government intends to solicit and negotiate a sole-source contract under FAR 6.302-1 for 20 units of the specified part. The government does not own the data or rights needed to contract repair from additional sources, and it is uneconomical to buy the data or reverse engineer the part. Deliveries are required to DLA Distribution New Cumberland, PA, and DLA Distribution San Joaquin, Tracy, CA. Responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements, though this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The solicitation will not use FAR Part 12 commercial item policies, but interested parties may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item.

This is a firm-fixed-price NAVSUP WSS procurement for repair-part material, with technical and quality requirements governed by an Individual Repair Part Ordering Data (IRPOD) package that vendors are required to review; the IRPOD is available via the BPMI site. Amendment 0001 adds required clauses and updates the IRPOD, so offerors must review the current documents. Inspection, acceptance, packaging, cleanliness, and mercury-exclusion requirements apply, including possible nuclear reactor/cleanliness controls, and a Certificate of Compliance must be submitted at the time of material delivery. Quotations must remain valid for 60 days unless the offeror specifies a different validity period. The solicitation includes a limitation-of-liability clause for high-value items ($100K), and contractual documents are considered issued when sent by mail, fax, or electronic commerce methods such as email.
