This opportunity is for the acquisition of 36 units of a specific part (NSN 1H-5840-014379608-A5) that requires engineering source approval from the design control activity. The part must be acquired from approved sources due to their unique design capability, data rights, and manufacturing knowledge that are not economically available to the Government. Performance of services includes delivery to DLA Distribution in New Cumberland, PA, and DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, CA. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, but all responsible sources may express interest and capability. Interested parties may identify their ability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.

This is a proposed sole-source contract action for the supply of 36 parts, with delivery locations at DLA Distribution in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, California.

While the Government intends to negotiate with only one source, all responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond. Interested parties may obtain required standardized documents online via ASSIST-Quick Search or through the DODSSP. The notice also specifies that interested persons may identify their capability to meet the requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.
