The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 for NSN 1H-4820-014524681-L1, TDP VER 008, quantity 54 EA, delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard L1SS, Kittery, ME 03904. The Government does not own the data or rights needed to contract repair from additional sources and has determined that buying the data or reverse engineering the part is uneconomical. Interested parties may obtain Military/Federal specifications and standards, QPLs/QPDs, handbooks, and other standardized documents from DODSSP/DAPS or ASSIST-Online, though patterns, drawings, deviation lists, and purchase descriptions are not stocked at DODSSP. All responsible sources may identify interest and capability or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements; this is not a request for competitive proposals, but responses will be considered in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The acquisition will not use FAR Part 12 commercial-item policies, but interested persons may identify commercial-item interest/capability to the contracting officer, and specified items may be subject to Free Trade Agreements and the WTO Government Procurement Agreement if the relevant DFARS clauses are included.
