59--SHIELDING GASKET,EL
The Navy intends to award a sole-source contract to Aviation Devices & Electronics for 80 units of a shielding gasket for the H-60 Knighthawk aircraft. No technical drawings or data are available, and this firm is the original equipment manufacturer and only known source. The government lacks the data rights needed for alternative sourcing, so other interested firms must submit a Source Approval Request, but the procurement will not be delayed for that approval. The acquisition will use FAR Part 15 procedures with commercial item policies per FAR Part 12, and Buy American and UID requirements will apply. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to the contracting officer by email.
