SOLE SOURCE – LATCH ASSEMBLIES
N0016426Q0066
This is a sole source requirement for 200 Latch Assemblies, with an option for 300 more, from Arnprior Aerospace Portland, Inc. The justification is that this specific OEM part is the only one qualified and authorized for use in the P8 Aircraft's TAS Program. The initial purchase and a one-year option period will be performed for the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane. The acquisition is valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold. While the government intends to negotiate with only one source, it will consider capability statements from other responsible sources.
