59--CIRCUIT BREAKER, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1 for 43 each of an NSN part that is flight critical and/or lacks adequate technical data for full and open competition, with delivery FOB Origin and early/incremental deliveries accepted. The item requires Government source approval by the design control activity, and only previously approved sources have been solicited because approved sources retain essential data, manufacturing, or repair knowledge. New sources must submit the required NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure information with their offers and qualify through the cognizant Government engineering activity; source approval normally cannot delay award. All responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements for consideration, but this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. Responses will be considered solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, and FAR Part 12 commercial-item policies are not being used, though interested parties may identify commercial-item capability to the contracting officer.
