1680 FMS repair of recovery sequencer

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is seeking repair services for two Recovery Sequencer units (P/N MBEU146470-6) used in F18 aircraft for the country of Australia. The solicitation, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, requires a contractor to provide labor, materials, and facilities to restore the government-owned articles to operational conditions. The government intends to solicit only one source, Teledyne RISI, under FAR 6.302-1 authority, though all responsible sources may submit capability statements within 5 days of the synopsis publication. A source approval is required, and contractors must submit detailed information from the NAVSUP-WSS Source Approval Information Brochure if they are not a pre-approved source. The proposal response deadline is March 17, 2025, with the government retaining sole discretion on whether to compete the proposed contract based on received responses.

The contract is set aside as an 8(a) Sole Source procurement, specifically targeting the Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing sector (NAICS 336413). The work will be performed in Philadelphia, PA, and involves a firm-fixed-price contract with FOB Origin delivery requirements. The solicitation covers two Recovery Sequencer units with a National Stock Number of 7RH 1680 015138959, intended for Foreign Military Sales to Australia. Contractors must comply with specialized preservation, packaging, and hazardous material handling procedures, and demonstrate ISO 9001 quality assurance compliance. While specific contract value is not disclosed, the procurement involves detailed cost/pricing data requirements and will be processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) payment system. The government emphasizes that the time for source approval is typically such that an award cannot be delayed pending new source approvals.
