This procurement is for 70 units of a Type 6 blanket (NSN 1HZ 5840 014379525, P/N 7538386), with MIL-STD packaging and government source inspection required. The material specifications are classified SECRET, so the contractor must hold the appropriate security clearance and authorized access to classified documents. Only CAGE OHM39 is currently an approved source and only that source will be solicited; other parties may contact the Navy for future procurement qualification. The item requires serialization, configuration control, and 100% electrical/workmanship testing, along with a government-verified production test plan. Delivery is FOB origin, and accelerated delivery is encouraged before the scheduled delivery dates.

An approved source is required for this part, as engineering source approval by the design control activity is necessary to maintain quality, and the existing data and knowledge are essential yet not economically available to the Government. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1, and this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Responsible sources may identify their interest and capability, but award will be made only to an offeror, product, or manufacturer that meets the qualification requirements at the time of award. Delivery is FOB origin.
