About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring spares for NIIN 016017099, classified as miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components. This part requires engineering source approval from the design control activity to maintain quality standards, as it is flight critical and approved sources retain essential data rights and manufacturing knowledge not economically available to the Government. The procurement is intended as a sole source award to Raytheon Company under FAR 6.302-1 authority, though all responsible sources may express interest and capability within 45 days of publication (30 days if awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). Non-approved sources must submit comprehensive technical data and source approval information according to NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support brochures, and any source approval requests must be processed in time to meet Government requirements. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 25, 2025, with a due date of August 12, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies Raytheon Company as the intended sole source contractor. No specific award values, budget ranges, or quantities are disclosed in the notice. The Government has indicated that based on market research, FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition policies will not be applied to this procurement, though interested parties may identify commercial item capabilities within 15 days of the notice. The procurement timeline emphasizes the critical nature of maintaining fleet support requirements, with the Government reserving the right to proceed with award based on operational needs even if new source approvals cannot be processed in time. Award will only be made to offerors who meet all qualification requirements at the time of award in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-1.
