The Navy intends to award a sole-source contract to The Boeing Company for a cable assembly spare part for the E-8 aircraft, as Boeing is the original equipment manufacturer and only known source, with no available technical data for other suppliers. Firms not already approved must submit a Source Approval Request, but the procurement will not be delayed for approval. The contract will have a one-year duration, and delivery is FOB origin. UID requirements and Buy American clauses will apply, and the procurement will follow FAR Part 15 procedures rather than commercial item policies. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, but interested parties may submit capability statements for consideration.
