53--CLAMP,LOOP
The Navy intends to award a sole-source contract for 450 units of an aircraft clamp loop, as only the original equipment manufacturer holds the necessary data and rights. No technical drawings are available, and any other potential supplier must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR), though the procurement will not be delayed for approval. Delivery is FOB origin, and the contract will have a one-year duration. The government will accept proposals from responsible sources within a specified window after this notice, but competitive procurement is not guaranteed. This opportunity is not set aside for small businesses, and electronic procedures will be used for the solicitation.
