This notice covers a valve-type item with a quantity of 54 units to be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME. The government does not own the data or rights needed for repair procurement from additional sources and has determined that reverse engineering is uneconomical. It intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1. This is not a request for competitive proposals, but responsible sources may identify their interest and capability for consideration. The acquisition may be subject to trade agreements, including Free Trade Agreements and the WTO Government Procurement Agreement.
