48--VALVE,RELIEF,PRESSU
The Government intends to negotiate a sole-source contract under FAR 6.302-1 because it lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase or repair the part from other sources. The requirement is for 8 units delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME. Responsible sources may identify their interest and capability or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements, but this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. Information received will normally be used only to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, and any decision not to compete is within the Government’s discretion. The acquisition will not use FAR Part 12 commercial-item policies, though interested parties may identify commercial-item interest and capability to the contracting officer.
