About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure repair services for one Data Transfer Unit (NSN 7R5999016517373, part number 4881-01000-15-101) for Foreign Military Sales to Kuwait. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the Government intends to award this as a sole source contract to Mercury Mission Systems LLC (CAGE 0AZ36), as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer with exclusive repair capabilities and technical data. However, all responsible sources are invited to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to perform the required repairs, including evidence of technical capacity, OEM status, and small business classification if applicable. Interested contractors must provide detailed submissions to the Procuring Contracting Officer Jake Tarlini at jacob.tarlini@navy.mil by the response deadline. Companies that are not pre-approved sources must submit comprehensive technical data as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochure, and the source approval process may preclude consideration if it cannot be completed in time to meet Government requirements. The response deadline is August 19, 2025, with all proposals received within 45 days of publication being considered by the Government.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a potential sole source award to Mercury Mission Systems LLC, the incumbent Original Equipment Manufacturer. The contract involves repair of a single unit of specialized electronic equipment, with Mercury Mission Systems maintaining design control and exclusive technical knowledge necessary for quality repairs. The Government reserves the right to proceed with the sole source award based on operational fleet support requirements, particularly if alternative source approval processes cannot be completed within the required timeframe. Alternative contractors seeking consideration must demonstrate equivalent technical capabilities and undergo the Government's source approval process, which typically requires substantial lead time that may not accommodate the current procurement schedule. The notice emphasizes that approved sources will be the only entities solicited for the actual contract award, reinforcing the critical nature of the pre-approval requirement for potential competitors.
