1650 - FMS Repair requirement for the country of Kuwait, NIIN: 007849692, PN: 374455-2

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia is conducting market research for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) repair services for Kuwait involving NSN 1650-00-784-9692, Part Number 374455-2, which is an aircraft hydraulic, vacuum, and de-icing system component for the KC-130J aircraft. The government intends to use sole source procurement authority under FAR 6.302-1, meaning they plan to negotiate with only one contractor rather than conducting full competition. Interested parties must submit capability statements and proposals by 4:30 PM Eastern Time on September 26, 2025. Source approval is required for this procurement, and NAVSUP will not delay contract award while source approval applications are pending for new vendors. Companies that are not already approved sources must submit comprehensive source approval documentation along with their proposals, following guidelines available in the NAVSUP-WSS Source Approval Information Brochure for Repair.

This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designations and is open to all responsible sources. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the notice. The solicitation does not specify contract values, budget ranges, or quantities of parts requiring repair services. No timeline is provided for the duration of repair services, though the compressed response deadline of eleven days suggests this may be an urgent operational requirement. The government reserves full discretion in determining whether to proceed with sole source procurement or consider competitive alternatives based on the responses received to this market research notice.
