5841 - FMS Repair of RECEIVER-EXCITER PROCESSOR (1 unit)

The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support) is seeking to repair a single RECEIVER-EXCITER PROCESSOR for a P8 Aircraft System intended for New Zealand. The solicitation, posted on November 25, 2024, with proposals due by January 8, 2025, indicates the government's intent to solicit exclusively from Raytheon Company under FAR 6.302-1 authority. Contractors must provide labor, materials, and facilities to repair the specified equipment, with the specific part number E4010000-1 and NSN 7R 0098 LLF02L468. Potential bidders must submit capability statements within 5 days of the synopsis publication, and those not currently an approved source must include detailed information from the NAVSUP-WSS Source Approval Information Brochure. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract based on received responses.

This solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category and covers a single unit of radar equipment classified under NAICS 333998 (All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC 5841 (Radar Equipment, Airborne). While Raytheon Company is the anticipated sole source, the notice allows for other interested contractors to demonstrate capability. The contract involves restoring the government-owned article to operational condition, with NAVSUP WSS in Philadelphia managing the procurement process. Notably, the government acknowledges it does not possess or cannot provide the necessary data for repairs, which underscores the technical complexity of the equipment. The source approval process will proceed concurrently with potential contract award, with the understanding that approval timelines may not permit significant delays in the procurement process.
